Grizzly Bear Print

This design illustrates a legend about a woman who was abducted by a grizzly bear while she was picking berries. She married the bear and gave birth to twin bear cubs. The overall design represents the grizzly bear. Within his body, the wife is portrayed by her head and hands, and the bear cubs by their heads, legs, and paws.
