We picked these skunks up at an antique store in Iowa. They are clearly handmade from walnuts and pipe cleaners with hand painting. There is a piece of green twine embedded in the nuts so they will always be connected. We collect ceramic skunks—usually antique. I enjoy going into antique stores and browsing. I got tired of my husband always asking me what I was looking for, so I decided to give him something to look for. 400+ skunks later, we only display a few. Most sit wrapped in bins in the attic😭 A great addition to any home! These are just precious and fun! ***please note that these items are antiques and may contain chips, cracks, and other signs of wear. I’ve done my best to note any damage in the description as well as photos.
