Bear tie tack or hat pin is textured with the leaf of the burr oak. Bear silhouette is created from fine silver (99.9% silver) and is soldered to a nickel tack. The clutch is made from brass with a nickel finish. The bear is oxidized and the leaf veining highlights are polished to bring out the rich texture.
Overall Measurements: Bear stands approximately 5/8" tall, 1" long, and with pin clutch is 1/2" thick.
In the Osage language, the black bear is called wasape.
Each bear made will have a slightly different leaf pattern than the one shown in the photos. I try to get them as close as I can, but it's the nature of handmade for them not to be exact.
