Who doesn't love a pure white bear sculpture?

Doesn't everyone see a white bear and think "this is a Polar bear"?

This medium sized soft vanilla white Standing bear has a gentle countenance.

Its legs are shorter and stouter than some bears. 

The effect is that of stability and strength.

This bear is firmly planted on the earth.  

It will not waiver.

There is something about this sculpture that is peaceful and calm.

This is a beautiful alternative to the more common energetic bear carvings.
