Description
Soapstone Carving – Dancing Bear
For thousands of years, the polar bear has been a key figure in the material, spiritual, and cultural life of circumpolar peoples, and polar bears remain important in their cultures.
Why it is interesting: Polar Bears live only within the Arctic Circle and unlike other bears have a white coat. They are considered spiritually powerful and similar to people. Maybe that is why they are shown dancing.
