8" Dancing Bear by Johnny Nuveya

Inuit art: Dancing Bear
Inuit Artist:  Johnny Nuveya
Size: 8" tall, 6" wide, 3" deep
Community: Cape Dorset, NU
Stone: Serpentine

Johnny Nuveya is one of the best Inuit artists for dancing bears. His bears are very alive with full of movement and grace. This is why his bears get much praise. This bear in particular is made from a gorgeous dark green stone. It has beautiful waves against the stone which gives it a dramatic finish. This bear certainly has grace and eloquence. The lines and contours are very precise. The stone has been polished to a mirror shine. This is one of my favorite dancing bears in our collection.
