Large Beaver, cedar wall art

Dark brown stain applied (Images taken in sunlight) and polished. He signed the Beaver at the back with his carved Initials. It's made and prepared for wall hanging.

Measurements: 25" x 9 1/2" x 1" 

Meaning: The BEAVER is a symbol for persistence and determination. He is creative, stubborn, a very hard worker and understands the importance of cooperation. He teaches us to unify individual talents to reach great goals, he also symbolizes hard work and he will not quit until the job is done. The FROG is living in two worlds, water and land, and is therefore is revered for his adaptability, knowledge and power to traverse worlds and inhabit both, the natural and the supernatural. Frog's songs are believed to contain divine power and magic. When a frog is touching his tongue with another creature (which is often shown in Native Art) it represents the exchange of knowledge and power.
