Carving

Physical description

Scene of three silver polar bears walking across a base carved to represent snow or ice. The somewhat square, off-white tusk base (part a) has hilly undulations running in one direction, and three small holes drilled to hold the pegs of the bears (parts b-d). One hole is drilled all the way through. All three cast metal bears are the same, with a peg on their front left foot, except that one bear has a longer peg. Syllabics inscribed on bottom of base.
