You won't be able to fully appreciate the wonder of this bear until I tell you it's just over ONE INCH TALL! I KNOW! Troy has carved it to perfection, burnished it's nose, ears and itty-bitty tail and inlaid it with beautiful turquoise and red coral. Just LOOK at those tiny inlaid jet claws. So sweet .. he THINKS he's just as big as his cousins featured regularly on the site, so please don't tell him any different. Signed.
