From the House of Fabergé menagerie, here is a diamond-eyed jasper #anteater figure, purchased by The Walters Art Museum founder Henry Walters on a trip to St. Petersburg in 1900. Now in the museum’s permanent collection: art.thewalters.org/detail/14933...
Digital color photo of the following work, full figure side profile on white background: Anteater House of Fabergé (Russian, est. 1842) (Manufacturer) Peter Carl Fabergé (1846-1920) c. 1900 jasper, diamonds “This tiny diamond-eyed anteater was purchased by Henry Walters, founder of the Walters Art Museum, on a trip to St. Petersburg in 1900. The House of Fabergé began making hardstone animals in the 1890s and they proved popular with their elite clients. Queen Alexandra (wife of the British King Edward VII) built a large collection, and production peaked in the years immediately before the outbreak of the First World War in 1914. Objects such as this anteater were inspired by Japanese netsuke. Carl Fabergé owned over 500 of these. He married this admiration of Asian art with the rich Russian tradition of hardstone carving. The anteater is unusual among Fabergé's menagerie, although examples in bloodstone and quartz are also known.

Giant Anteaters are solitary, intelligent animals that use their two-foot tongues to consume 30,000 ants daily. They are threatened by habitat loss from ranching and soy farming for animal feed. Choosing plant-based foods protects their rainforest homes. #WorldAnteaterDay #WorldVeganMonth🌱
