Hand-Carved Cedar Wood Sculpture of an Andean Bear from Peru, "Andean Gaze"

The Andean bears were once associated with the spirits of death and life, according to Andean cosmovision. Being protagonists of many famous works, these cute creatures are suffering the consequences of climate change and human intervention, motivating Peruvian artisan Sugo to hand-carve a cedar wood sculpture in their honor. After finishing each detail, Sugo paints the artwork by hand for an exquisite look that will captivate anyone.
