Mother bear

The mother grizzly bear is one of our old, original pieces that we cast and sold when Windstone ( then called Mark Hines Creations) was first started, in 1984.

When we realized that fantasy things-and dragons in particular - sold much better than real animals, we discontinued the entire line of regular creatures and concentrated on weird ones.
When we moved our factory from California to Oregon we rediscovered a hoard of old castings that had been packed away unfinished for years. This Bear was one of them.
This unpainted old casting has has been newly airbrushed in cinnamon brown with dark trim. She has dark brown glass eyes and is about 8 3/4 inches tall.
