Sweet Old Green Painted Mother Bear with Moving Arms Santo Domingo pottery And with its pretty gold-tonedI 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.

She's got a sweet little wire tail too. 6 3 4 t x 3 5 16
