APPLETON is a large Dancing Bear with a large personality.

Dancing bears were fashioned after humans by the carvers of Cape Dorset.

They were given human attributes.

Especially a SENSE OF HUMOUR!

This Dancing style is referred to as the Cape Dorset Aesthetic.

Appleton is joyful.

His happiness pervades the room.

A mere glance at this exuberant carving will lift your spirit.
