Jaw's medium and large-scale Walking bears emphasize bulk and weight rather than the subtlety of line and form. This depiction of a walking bear is certainly bulky, but it is elegant and refined as well.

This carving is a realistic portrayal of a bear from every angle. 

The balance, the atomic precision, and deep coloration in the stone make this piece worthy of being featured in any Inuit art chronicle.

For larger sized walking bears, Noah Jaw is the absolute best.
