Maker of this beautiful Bear Dancer Figure is unknown to me. Got this one including the two turquoise carvings stock # 141, 142 and the Flute Player stock # 976 from a trading post in Gallup, New Mexico. The figure is marked T.L.B. 94 on the bottom. The artist used real animal fur and hair, and the hands and the head are carved from Deer or Elk antler.
Figure is mounted on a wooden base and is 7 ½ inches tall. Wooden base is 1 3/8 inches tall. Total height is 8 7/8 inches.
