    It's 2 1/2" long, ~1" wide, ~3/4" high; weighs ~1 1/2 oz.
    Pics 3, 4 & 7 show the color of the unknown material best.

    I think I saw this mark on an item here fairly recently, but didn't note the artist's name. Any comments or suggestions are most welcome...an' Thanks for lookin'!

    Picasso marble has random intersecting lines on it, a bit like a Cubist painting.;)

    What a great little carving! I had never seen a mole portrayed by a carver until now, never mind a Zuni carver.
