Carved Ivory Polar Bear Head Napkin Ring

This is about as good as it gets. Not just a fierce polar bear with an open mouth sticking his red tongue out, but out at you. He has inlaid eyes, inlaid and scrimshawed nostrils, and a full set of teeth. An added distinction is the placement of the letters "A" & "L" in Old English gothic script in Alaskan gold nuggets below the bear's head.
