APPLETON is a large Dancing Bear with a large personality.
Dancing bears were fashioned after humans by the carvers of Cape Dorset.
They were given human attributes.
Especially a SENSE OF HUMOUR!
This Dancing style is referred to as the Cape Dorset Aesthetic.
Appleton is joyful.
His happiness pervades the room.
Ottokie has bestowed Appleton with a stunning vibrant jeweled green colour.
This marbled is speckled with small pools of dark green and rivulets of white and sunny
yellow.
His dance is effervescent!
He claps his paws and stomps his feet.
A mere glance at this exuberant carving will lift your spirit.
