Natural Grizzly Bear Christmas Ornament

12161 Merck Family's Old World Christmas

Brown bear ornament measures approximately 3" x 4 1/4", made of mouth blown, hand painted glass.

The bear represents bravery and strength, so it is often found on European heraldry. Because the bear hibernates, it also signifies resurrection or the power of life over death. But the bear can also represent bad temper! The grizzly bear on the California State Seal signifies determination.
