Zuni Picasso Marble Armadillo

Wilfred Cheama carved so much detail in this armadillo.  There is no mistaking it for any other creature.  He gave the armadillo Sleeping Beauty turquoise eyes.  It has a very determined look on its face! 

Size: 1.25" H x 2" L x .75" W

Armadillo means "little armored one" in Spanish, and it looks like it wears its own tank!  Its first defense when threatened is to run, and it can be quick.  The next defense is to roll into a ball so the bony armor keeps it safe.  It has long claws that it uses to build its den underground and to dig for snacks.  It models nonviolence and is successful at being a peaceful warrior.
