This bear's paw is handsomely decorated in Celtic style. Each of the four 'toes' is embossed with a small triquetra knot, and the larger triangular-shaped pad is filled with a cluster of three larger interlocking triquetra knots.

The knots are all raised against a darker antiqued background, giving the pendant both a textured and decorative quality, while the downward-facing claws are simply polished and by contrast look quite dramatic.

The back of the pendant has a hammered finish.

The Celtic bear paw is often seen as a symbol of strength, courage, protection, motherhood, and good luck. And as a spirit animal, the bear – well-grounded in the earth and the cycles of Nature – emphasizes both courage in taking a stand against adversity as well as physical and emotional healing through rest and solitude.
