They're from Peru! They're ceramic! They're handpainted! The hole runs ear to ear. Approximately 1 inch high. This is my kind of beaver. He/she is intent on destruction of the forest and maybe you if he can catch you. Like when you are swimming. In Vermont we have billions of trees. That's a billion too many. The trees conspire to crowd out the meadow larks, the thrashers, the bobolinks and the cowbirds. The hole is cheek to cheek. Longitudinal. PCB's! - Peruvian Ceramic Beads! Maybe a tree fell on this beaver. Most of the PCB holes will take a 2mm cord, some just close to a 2mm cord.
