Grizzly Bear Chief on wooden base - red cedar

What a wonderful piece. Fully hand carved, please check out the Chief's face, the carving and expression is marvelous. Vibrant and clean painting. The green, black, red and white just looks fabulous on this beautiful red cedar. Chief is wearing the bear on body and as crown. Chief looks very proud and powerful. It's carved on one side, signature at the back. So much love and many hours of work went into this piece.
