Masterpiece Sculpture!  Fantastic Movement! 

Etulu's Dancing bear is exquisite.

The dark rich black is freckled with small specks of green/torquoise colour and pin stripes of white and gray. 

The finish is shiny but soft.  The effect is soothing and draws you into the piece.

Etulu's bear is not a typical rounded teddy bear but more of an angular athlete.

This agile  bear is sublime.

His happiness is contagious.
