There is no signature, but it is characterized by intricate carvings, a large head, and a gentle expression. My grandfather said that based on the features, it is likely the work of an artist from the Ainu region, where wooden bear carvings are popular. I think it would be fun to try and find the artist based on the style. Please consider purchasing it. Width: 30 (from front paw to back paw) Height: 19
