Interestingly, shrews are not a rodent like a mouse but a member of an ancient Mammalian order
Insectivora. These beneficial creatures have super sensitive whiskers known as vibrissae that help them hunt by touch and smell. They benefit farmers by consuming many crop-destroying pests. Nelson Yatsattie's well-polished Picasso marble shrew (or perhaps a
Mole) has a nice long segmented tail and precious eyes from turquoise inlays. About 2 1/2" long, 1 3/8" wide and 1" tall.
