Carved Shoe with Bear Cub Inside! first edition MoMA catalogue But also just a beautifulYou know I'm a sucker for a little hand carved shoe, and all the better that it should have a bear inside! If this had been done in porcelain or carved in a more refined way I think it might be too cute for me, but as is I think it is exactly right!
