Polar bear? Looks to me like they just carved some funny little guys. I’d hate for future archaeologists to find my highschool doodles and decide what animals I must have been depicting

“You remember what a Polar Bear looks like, right?” “Oh yeah, don’t worry about it.”

Looks like it was carved out of a potato - neat!

Yeah, sure, those totally look like polar bear faces and bodies.... Did the artist see any polar bears before carving this, or were they blind and working from verbal description? Personally, I'm petty sure this is a normal example of 19th century porn.
