A beautifully carved Japanese wooden bear in excellent antique condition. This sculpture depicted a powerful bear in a forward-leaning stance as it grasps a fish in its paws. The sculptor has creating deeply textured fur, sharply defined claws, and beautifully rendered scales on the fish. The open mouth and focused expression give the bear a vivid sense of movement and intent, while the carved base evokes the natural terrain of a riverbank. A classic example of Kibori Kuma carving, it reflects the rich folk-art tradition of Hokkaido and the exceptional skill associated with these iconic works.All measurements are done to the widest point .Please feel free to contact me with any enquiry or for more pictures .Delivery :We can arrange to deliver any where in the world just let us know your destination and we will get a quote for you .Here at Sinclair's Antiques and Interiors we do our utmost best to ensure all our items are described and photographed to show any flaws...
