A dark brown and black wooden bear sculpture, featuring realistic expressions and detailed carvings of a parent bear and cub. - Material: Wood - Design: Sculpture of a bear and cub - Color: Black bear - This wood carving was purchased in 1978. - The purchase date and the Ainu word "Ponmoshiri" are written on the base. Ponmoshiri means "small island" in the Ainu language, and it is said to be the name of a place within the current city of Ashibetsu. I believe this likely indicates the place where this bear was made. - Size of the parent and cub bear wood carving: Width 52cm x Depth 32cm x Height 29.5cm Weight: 4.7kg, quite heavy. - The expressions of the parent and child, the fine details, this is a rare find that you don't often see. Thank you for viewing.
