4" Dancing Bear by Ottokie Samayualie paintings This is a Manasie bone

This is a Manasie bone sculpture

His eyes are closed for that split second when he sees the ball arcing toward the net

His massive paw is held above the snow

The finish of the stone is done in a traditional light green and is polished to a mirror shine

The foliage of hair nestled into the stone fused by the bone face bring all elements together to extenuate the highlights of the beautiful dark grey stone

Its one of the reasons we love small bears so much.
