    Antique Primitive Eskimo Carved Pine Drift Wood Standing Polar Bear
    This standing Polar Bear (not grizzly, brown bear, nor European) is carved from stained Pine drift wood in a primitive style, but very naturalistic in the stance & pose.
    His long neck, triangular head & body are slightly cocked to the right, the belly sags & the hips are slung under…obviously a result of real-life observation, & not from mere pictures & imagination.
    Though minimalistic & under-stated, there is a strong feeling of the living creature conveyed in this little carving.
    Inuit Alaskan before WWII (based on Estate collection it came from).
    No chips or cracks or losses.
    Smoke free – odor free.
