| This box figurine
features a mother and baby armadillo. |
| Peter Calvesbert was
drawn by the texture possibilities of the armadillo, and
enjoyed putting in the bands and scales. Notice that
the mother is 6-banded, and the baby is 3-banded, to show
that the baby is half of his mother. |
| The baby is atop the
mother rather than snuggled underneath to provide a handle
for the lid. |
| |
| This is a very early
carving, and does not have any markings. Later boxes
have "P C" carved on the back under the tail. This
one does not have that mark. |
| |
| The mouse does not
appear on this piece. |
| There is no inner
carving, & no hallmarks or copyright marks. |
