Wooden aardvark (female)

$35.00

A medium-sized wooden aardvark companion created for Secrets of the Photocopier (a recent exhibition at platform, Melbourne).

This little powerful digger from the family orycteropodidae seeks a new home now that the exhibition has drawn to a close. She is a one of a kind piece, completely made by hand. Cut and shaped with the aid of a jigsaw and a piece of sandpaper, from MDF. Painted in white, front, sides and back, she is freestanding. Her coat and face markings have been drawn on by hand with a beloved black felt tip pen.

Suitable for your shelf, to guard your books or mind your nightstand, this aardvark will be happy anywhere.

A countersunk hole on the reverse side ensures this particular wooden chum can be hung on the wall.

All animals come well wrapped to ensure they arrive safe and sound.

Aardvark proportions:
13 cm (H) X 30 cm (W) X 1.2 cm (D)

Aardvark particulars:
The aardvark’s sight is poor and it hunts mainly by smell. It has powerful limbs with long shovel-like claws to enable rapid digging.

Catch a glimpse of her in her original habitat here.
