Japanese Black Carved Wooden Bear Growling Japanese wooden bear %%alt5%% %%alt6%%
This is a Japanese wooden bear carved naturalistically prowling on four legs with teeth bared, presented in a black finish, dating from mid 20th century. Japanese characters have been carved onto the underside of two of the paws - we assume that they include the name of the wood carver.

Though the smallest of the collection of 12 Japanese carved bears that we have acquired this bear is still of substantial size with abundant decorative appeal. The mouth and teeth have been left in the natural colour of the wood which contrasts with the black fur. There is some wear to the surface from handling such as around the nose and top of the back revealing the underlying colour of the wood. These bears are similar to those produced in Switzerland which are usually referred to as Black Forest carvings.

Dimensions: width 34 cm x depth 15 cm x height 18 cm
Weight 1.73 kg

Condition: Excellent with some minor wear to the surface revealing the natural colour of the wood (probably cedar). This together with its lustrous waxed finish adds to the tactile nature of this carving.

Postage & packing: £7.50 within the UK. Please contact us for a quote for overseas destinations.
