The plaque can be handled no problem and the oils from your hands will just increase the patina . It has no glaze on it so I warn people wearing jewelry that rings could scratch the finish . When they come out of the pit fire I clean them up with clear Kiwi shoe polish , this also protects and adds to the warm luster of the finish. Of all the work I do this technique is the one that gets held the most , as each piece dries it is burnished with very smooth stones , usually three times each over the course of the drying process. Its put together like a puzzle and I try to make the cut lines have a rhythm of their own .
The wood it is mounted on is beach wood , rough from the elements and a contrast from the smooth coolness of the clay. This can be handled , its a material that has been battered by the ocean so I dare you to change it. From the wall to the tip of the otters nose it is 9 inches and the tail measures the same.
