He is primarily known for his stone carvings.  This is an unusual bear made from clay.  It is very detailed in the painted designs and has a heartline.  Note as well the sculptural form of the bear.  It is from the 1970s.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Fabian Homer”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
