Solid Cast Bronze Honeybear! french micro-beaded purse I photographed it standing on

I photographed it standing on end which makes it appear a bit curled

with ribbed areas at four points giving it a bit of tooth

The earliest examples of these date to the late 19th century

as evident (there is only one of a few of them) but

and a delight to discover as I am forever coveting (but unable to afford) Grenfell Mission rugs

Solid Cast Bronze Honeybear! french micro-beaded purse I photographed it standing onI love whoever decided to cast a plastic honey bear squeeze bottle in bronze an iconic product transformed into a everlasting one. And not sticky from actual honey! A very happy thing. 5 3 4" t x 2 3 8" w x 1 7 8" d, in excellent condition, and heavy!
