The entire body features highly tactile, deep chisel marks that beautifully replicate the thick, layered texture of fur. While most souvenir-style carvings depict a docile bear with a salmon, this exceptional piece captures a prowling bear in a dynamic, aggressive stance—leaning forward with ears pinned back and its jaw wide open in a snarl. This sculpture serves as an excellent accent piece for contemporary interiors, ideally suited for a prominent mantelpiece or bookshelf display.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-hveid=\"CAAICRAB\" data-complete=\"true\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-hveid=\"CAAICRAB\" data-complete=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe dimensions are as follows: H: 19cm - W: 15cm - L: 31cm \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFree shipping with orders over £35 for UK mainland \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThank you for looking and please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-6ce6efc3-7fff-3b22-d392-cdf8ff98702d\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"yhAwj\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-complete=\"true\" data-processed=\"true\" data-sfc-inited=\"2\"\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Apeman Interiors","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56538188448123,"sku":"ITEM-3150","price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0026\/3215\/5254\/files\/early-20th-century-japanese-hokkaido-kibori-kuma-hand-carved-prowling-cedar-bear-8-apeman-interiors_2.jpg?v=1792939782","url":"https:\/\/apemaninteriors.co.uk\/products\/8","provider":"Apeman Interiors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
