Mosesee specializes in small Dancing and Diving Bears. During his career, Pootoogook has probably carved hundreds of these dynamic Bear athletes. GLIDER is proof that one never tires of Pootoogook's bears because each one is a charismatic

Markosie is extremely talented for dancing bears and this what his specialty is

With their medium size and affordable price

(as I become more appreciative of carvings from even 40-50 years ago)

Inuit art: Inuk Scene

Some are meticulous in their detail

And the look on Luna's face is one of reverence and calm

his feet are a brilliant gold colour

When have you seen such intensity

The beautiful white stone immediately brings attention to this piece

Some people like realistic style bears

Note** The ivory comes from the tusks of animals hunted for food controlled by the  Canadian Government
