Inspired by the Mother Teresa quote "Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love." This smiling polar bear with pink blossoms and fresh blue sky beyond is all about love for animals, nature, our planet. The sides of this wood panel are painted gold. Gold details are in the iris of the polar bear's eye and in the flowers' centres. Signed by artist, and with unique work completion number & Certificate of Authenticity. It is not wired as I create these small polar bear collectibles to sit on tables or shelves. But if you would prefer it to have wire please contact Saatchi to pass on the request, and I will gladly accommodate you!
