What a cute plump bear. This bear is carved of Deer antler. The natural white center coloration makes a nice uniform design surrounded by the outer grey of the antler. The eyes are inlayed with Kingman Turquoise and a Black Pen Shell nose. The offering bundle is composed of a simple carved, yet striking natural Carico Lake stone. A bluebird carved of Kingman Turquoise with inlayed eyes of Black Pen Shell. The beads are of Mediterranean Coral and Tulcum heishe made by the Indigenous people of the Amazon. Lastly, the ears are burnished to give color and detail.
