A wooden bear carving holding a salmon. It's a large size. It has a base. It's a wonderful piece, carefully crafted. Size (including base) Width: 39cm, Depth: 28cm, Height: 22cm Weight: 4.3kg The bear itself is in very good condition. The fur is carved in great detail, even down to the paws, and many scales are depicted on the fish. The smooth finish of the bear's nose, the curve of the spine, and the bend of the salmon's body realistically express suppleness and dynamism. It's a very carefully made and wonderful piece. About 35 years ago, my parents went to Hokkaido and bought this as a souvenir. The characters on the base probably mean it was made near Lake Akan on July 11, 1990 (Heisei 2). It may look scary at first glance, but it has the warmth of handcrafted wood carving, and you'll feel very attached to it when you look at it. Highly recommended. It has been carefully stored. Instant purchase OK. We try to ship as soon as possible.
