Wooden aardvark (male)

$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. He 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, he is freestanding. His 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:
This nocturnal species has a dense mat of hair around its nostrils to help filter out the dust while digging for food.

Catch a glimpse of him in his original habitat here.
