This is a splendid dancing bear with beautiful proportions and lines. Ottokie is one of several carvers in Cape Dorset who like to create dancing bears. He is one of the better artists for dancing bears as his seem to have much life and movement to them.
What I admire about this bear in particular is its sophisticated dark green color. The dark base with lightish veins create a beautiful marble-like finish which add a subtle depth to this piece.
