Melanie Nathan - Ballerina Bear - Linnet
Item was in a box of random teddy bears gifted to me. 'Linnet' is in very good condition. Made with feather finish mohair and paw pads made with some sort of suede. Her arms, legs, and even torso are posable. Some of the little flowers on the tutu have come free and are in the box. Great condition and adorable.
