This is a beautiful traditional green/brown speckled coloured scenting bear by Tony Oqutaq. The colouring is warm and gentle, which is why we liked it. This bear has a wonderful pose as it is sniffing. The movement is gorgeous and was made by a very reputable inuit artist. Tony is known for his scenting bears. The movements he creates are subtle and very life like.

This carving makes a wonderful gift to a foreign friend or an occasion like a confirmation or wedding.
