Inuit Carved Polar Bear with Seal in its Mouth

Here is a pleased polar bear with a small seal in its mouth. Dinner is assured. The bear stands on all four feet to  show off his prize. This is one happy bear. The seal is carved from fossilized walrus ivory, but the bear is pure white fresh walrus ivory. A good piece for your collection.
