Carved Shoe with Bear Cub Inside! golden wheat it works summer to winter

it works summer to winter and with everything--I think it would be the perfect piece to wear with jeans and a t-shirt while throwing a pot or with a breezy linen dress to a farm-to-table dinner

What a tender hand hold between them

with a bit of lost stitching just at the very end

the whole variety of birds and snakes and other creatures that surround them

no notable splits or other issues

Carved Shoe with Bear Cub Inside! golden wheat it works summer to winterYou know I'm a sucker for a little hand carved shoe, and all the better that it should have a bear inside! If this had been done in porcelain or carved in a more refined way I think it might be too cute for me, but as is I think it is exactly right! Those little front paws and oh, that little face! 3 3 4" l x 2 7 8" t x 1 1 4" w and in great condition, with a fair amount of age. A pretty perfect stocking stuffer, for sure.
