Three Bears

Three Bears

Two of three of these wooden bear carvings are matching in size and technique, with dark woodburned fur lines, claw lines, and faces. The third is slightly larger and the fur is slightly lighter. It has a hole in one foot, and a repaired hole in the neck. When moved the bear makes a very gentle rattling sound. The two smaller bears are dated to 1992, and the larger is dated to 1993.
