The squirrel's custom of gathering and storing food for the winter is a prominent symbol of great foresight and the importance of preparing for future challenges. Vivella Cheama's exquisitely carved squirrel (or perhaps chipmunk) can be a sweet nudge to be ready and resourceful. Incising marks compliment the fish rock serpentine specimen well, so do intelligent eyes from turquoise inlays and a little triangular-shaped nose. About 1 1/4" long, 3/4" wide and 1 3/8" tall.
