Beaver in teal reeds Tudor and Elizabethan dress 3 cm (10 x 8")Whats more Canadian than a beaver? Not much, youd think, what with it being our national animal and all. This beaver, however, is not Canadian; its a European beaver. But you probably cant tell, and neither can anyone else. If you dont tell, then neither will I. This bewhiskered beaver is made from orange and gold Nepalese paper and features a gold glass bead eye. It is based on a 1774 illustration of Castor fiber (European beaver) from Die Saugthiere
