Carved Wood Carousel figure of a Bear
SKU SMAS8261
Rare and unusual American carved wood carousel figure in the form of a walking bear, circa 1905. The bear is boldly carved with expressive features and detailed fur, and is fitted with a carved saddle and harness with subtle painted accents. Its open mouth and animated stance give the figure a wonderful sense of character and movement. Retaining a rich, dark patinated surface with age-appropriate wear, this is a striking example of early 20th-century American carousel and folk art.
