Description
14" (36 cm.) The brown fur-covered paper-mache
bear features carved wooden paws and
ferocious-appearing bone teeth. He holds a cup in
his left paw and a bottle in his right. Movement.
He lifts the bottle to pour liquid into the
cup,then lowers the bottle and lifts the cup to
his mouth to drink. His head nods up to swallow
and his jaw closes. Mechanically operating
well,although needing adjustment to allow the
bottle to pour neatly into the cup. Decamps,circa
1915,from their series of amusing animal automata.
