Magnificent Movement!

Isaaci has given us a unique treasure.

Charles is a small three way Dancing bear. 

I have looked through our archive and Isaac rarely carves such a petite three way dancing bear.

This means that the bear can be balanced on three out of their four limbs.

Not only is this a very difficult position for the artist to carve, but when Charles is balanced on his left paw in the Diving position, most of his body mass is lateral to his arm.

This is an unbelievable accomplishment for Petaulassie.

Balancing on a front paw requires incredible strength, power and awareness of one's body in space.
