| Description |
|
This charming sculpture of a bear with a fish in
its mouth was carved from rock crystal during
the 19th century. The position and shape of the
form is dynamic and powerful, and recalls the
pose of polar or grizzly hears, which are
particularly known for their salmon fishing in
mountain streams. The lowered hindquarters,
long neck and strong head with black inlaid eyes
are all very accurate, the entire surface being
decorated with incised lines to suggest a shaggy
pelt.
This is an attractive and striking piece.
