6" Diving Bear by Ottokie Samayualie *Brownie*Inuit art: 4 way Diving Bear Inuit Artist: Ottokie Samayualie Size: 6. 5 across, 6" tall, 4" deep Community: Cape Dorset, NU 21 Stone: Serpentine id: dfa 6427Pijjy A dancing bear is able to balance on one foot, two feet, three and sometimes all four feet. I have so much admiration for a carver capable of creating such a sculpture. Enter Ottokie Samayualie and his four way dancing bear Brownie. The colour of this stone is delicious. Rich, thick swirls
