We do not clean our items - this has a dark patina & would polish up brighter silver Cute little dimensional armadillo. Just over 5/16" (9 mm) tall by about 3/4" (1.9 cm) wide nose to tail by 7/16" (1.1 cm) thick. I don’t see any markings or hallmarks. He has been tested & is at least sterling 925 silver. Weight - 2.7 g / .10 oz. ‘Armadillo’ in Spanish means ’little armored ones’. They are fairly timid & run when they feel threatened or scared. They have poor eyesight so they rely on their ears & noses more than their eyes to detect food or predators Armadillos are omnivores, which means they eat both meat & plants, mainly bugs. The nine-banded armadillo nearly always gives birth to four identical pups.
