Christopher Peina: Antler, Mother bear and cubs
Pay-nah
The intricacy and beauty of this carved momma bear and her cubs made out of antler is so impeccable, with every detail carefully thought out and brought to life. The addition of turquoise eyes added a pop of color that really made the piece stand out. Each curve and angle of the bears seemed so lifelike, almost as if they could come to life at any moment. It truly captured the love and bond between a mother bear and her cubs in such a unique way.
