Vintage Sheepskin Teddy Bear

This item is a vintage-style teddy bear handcrafted from natural long-pile sheepskin or shearling material. The bear features a soft, light apricot or honey-tan hue with distinct black shearling accents on the paw pads of the lower feet. It is constructed with a soft-filled body, showcasing a rounded head, short stubby arms, and thick legs in a seated or standing posture. The facial features are minimalist, consisting of a triangular black leather or faux-leather nose and small, recessed bead-like eyes that are largely obscured by the thick wool. The plush texture is characteristic of mid-to-late 20th-century artisanal plush toys, often produced in regions like New Zealand or Australia known for sheepskin products. Condition-wise, the wool shows signs of matting and light surface dust consistent with age and handling. There are no visible manufacturer labels or tags in the provided view, suggesting it may be a boutique or handmade piece. The overall craftsmanship displays a sturdy, folk-art quality with visible seams integrated into the dense pile.
