This is a beautiful and rare 4 way Dancing bear carved by Cape Dorset artist Sakkasie Ragee.

It is exceptionally difficult to carve bears that can balance on any of its four paws. This is an engineering feat and is attribute to the experience and skill of these Inuit carvers.

Ragee's has chosen a neon apple green stone for this energetic sculpture. This bear has the moves of an Olympic floor gymnast. But it also has a comical, light hearted presence.

Having this bear in your collection or gifting him to a special person in your life would mean having a constant ray of sunshine in your life. 

This is one of the many reasons we love art.
