Black Bear Christmas Ornament

12207 Merck Family's Old World Christmas

Ornament measures approximately 3 1/4" and made of mouth blown, hand painted glass.

Bears are symbols of strength and bravery, and are often found on European heraldry. Because bears hibernate, they signify resurrection and the power of life over death. Bears can also represent bad temper, but most of the time they are gentle and good-natured and often quite playful.
