This striking bear is carved from apple coral in a beautiful warm orange shade, giving the piece a bold and vibrant appearance. Its smooth, rounded form captures the strength and gentle nature of the bear, while bright turquoise eyes add a vivid pop of color. A Penn shell arrowhead is inlaid on its back, creating a beautiful contrast against the rich orange coral.
