Ancient Tree Resin Bear Cub

By Maxx Laate

Animal: Bear, Material: Amber
This offering is sold.
Amber is basically fossilized tree resin. In prehistoric times, certain trees exuded a sticky, clean resin to both heal as well as protect their bark from bacteria and fungi. As it oozed out of the tree, the resin trapped anything in its path and simultaneously prevented decay thanks to the resin's antiseptic nature. Maxx Laate's inquisitive Bear cub has been sculpted from a dark slightly reddish-brown amber to a tidy size of approximately 1 1/2" long, 3/4" wide and 1 1/8" tall. It hears mother's call to say close-by. Wise eyes are from turquoise inlaid to a wonderful face with sniffing muzzle and attentive ears.
