Markosie Papigatook’s Dancing Bears are adored for their playfulness and their athletic prowess. 

Some of the bears appear to be performing martial arts which would make them a perfect gift for the yellow, green or black belt practitioner in your life.

This fellow is strong with well muscled arms and legs. 

His outstretched arms bear a resemblance to wings  With his head tilted back and his face looking at the heavens, he has the appearance of an angel. 

Markoosie's bears are favourites with my clients. You can always find one or two of his pieces that captures your heart.
