The bear, which in ancient times was considered one of the fierce opponents of man, in the era of the Upper Paleolithic becomes the ancestor and personification of male power. However, the female form of the bear is also revered: this is a true mother who never offends her cubs.
The Bear archetype was distributed almost everywhere in the world, including in Russia, from Pskov to Chukotka, in Eastern and Western Europe, Asia and America.
The Sunny, or rather Solar Bears pattern is the quintessence of Russian folk tales, the main character of which is often a bear, and archaeological artifacts found on the territory of Russia: Neolithic bears carved from flint or slate, bronze animal figurines with engraving, which was a kind of protection and strength , and even traditional clay toys from different regions of Russia, from north to south.
The author of the pattern is Elena Tuchina.
