This bear was obviously carved by an artist who carefully observed the animal subjects and Loved them. Despite being carved from a large sized, heavy stone, the work has a lightness of spirit. The apple green stone is divine and electric.

The reflection, polish and shine are divine. The proportions are perfect and very life like.
