This beautiful and poignant sculpture portrays a spirit bear. Tunillie eloquently captures the bears celebratory and jolly mood almost through posture alone, conveyed by means of the sparest and subtlest of undulating sculptural forms.

What strikes me about this bear cub is how happy and peaceful it is. It's nearly smiling. Would make a great gift.
