Each is signed and dated. The lying tapirs are textured like fur, while the standing ones are very smooth. Small tubes are carved into the back of each animal so they can be strung on necklaces. We do not sell them with the necklace, cord, or beads, as you may have a preferred color and style - or you might like to use the tapir as a mini sculpture instead. We'll have more information for you soon about the Embera Indians, the artist, the carving, and the project.
All tapirs are endangered species.
Saving tapirs helps save the rainforest.
