4" Dancing Bear by Mosesee Pootoogook *Gatsby* paintings The pearl white white stone

The pearl white white stone give this bear a remarkable visage unlike any other carving I've come across

The soft green color is quite traditional

Such a small being provides so much joie de vivre

Every curve is exaggerated. Each pointed nose becomes even more pointed. Look at Gatsby's front paws. See how each claw stands out against the background. Now look at his right leg and his back. Doesn't Gatsby look like a dancing shadow?
