Chipmunk Art



















This artifact was found among others in a chipmunk burrow in Greene County, NY. According to Miriam Levin, author of "Rodents, Culture and Customs"(1), all chipmunk art has a religious function. This has been identified as an important deity, believed to have the power to attract nutritious seeds.
