Sweet Old Green Painted Mother Bear with Moving Arms Santo Domingo pottery he was my baby whoI couldn't resist this mother bear, looking so kind and proud in her forest green paint, which didn't quite make its way up to covering her head, which has the effect of making her seem to stand even taller. Her arms are attached by heavy looped wire, allowing them to move to and fro when raised above her head, they cover he (would be) eyes, as if she were expressing woe at a wayward cub or two! She's got a sweet little wire tail too. 6 3 4 t x 3 5 16
