4" Dancing Bear by Mosesee Pootoogook *Gatsby* paintings they have become extremely rareInuit art: Dancing Bear Inuit Artist: Mosesee Pootoogook Size: 5" tall, 3" wide Community: Cape Dorset, NU 19 Stone: Serpentine id: dfa AL7331Nacjy When a small bear is carved in a deep, dark colour, magic happens!
