This is one of Australia's lesser known, but extremely attractive, marsupials.
The Numbat, or Banded Anteater, is the faunal emblem of the state of Western Australia.
The stripes and the fluffy tail are both easy to replicate with intarsia. Double cutting makes short work of those stripes.
I remember being very pleasantly surprised after completing the first prototype. It had worked out so well. Highly recommended.Finished Intarsia Size:
