Clear Marble Mouse from Rev. Ross McClellan

Object/Artifact

-

St. Joseph Museums

The image features a small, creatively handcrafted figure made of clear, spherical beads arranged to resemble an animal, possibly a mouse. The structure is held together by a black thread or wire that extends upward, possibly for hanging. The mouse-like figure has two large circular beads forming its ears and two smaller, round beads acting as its eyes, which have simple black dots for pupils. The beads reflect light in a way that gives them a sparkling appearance. The background consists of a soft, textured white surface, reminiscent of fabric or a plush material, which creates a light, neutral setting that highlights the details of the beadwork. Near the figure, a white tag is partially visible, featuring handwritten numbers and possibly a date or code. The craftsmanship showcases a playful and charming aesthetic.
