Sweet Old Carved Black Bear on Perch carved men and really love its architectural

and really love its architectural structure and crisp

one part young vampire

and the sides of the block are carved with four different images: a heart

with all of its patina now making it feel a bit like a momento mori

and have never seen another like it

Sweet Old Carved Black Bear on Perch carved men and really love its architecturalA charmer of an old carving I think, look at that face! And just right that this black bear should be perched as it is, neck extended curiously, as if peering over a cliff and into the future. Great. 3 4 8" t x 3 5 8" l (base) x 1 3 4" w. Great condition, earlyish 20th c. I would guess, nicely aged.
