Product Description

This Bear Dish is hand-carved in argillite by Haida carver Denny Dixon. It was acquired from a collection and is in very good condition.

The Bear Symbol represents strength, family, vitality, courage, and health. The bear is thoughtful and independent, with little need for fellowship. The bear is also self-contained and strong-willed in nature. A Bear is of great support and comfort to those who crave human company simply for personal reassurance rather than for the simple pleasure of being with friends. He makes lonely periods of life far easier.
