M. Riley Austin is a contemporary American sculptor who modeled animals. He created this Bear standing by a log in 1978, it is signed and dated, and marked cast # 112 of 1500. The Bear is surprisingly human-like as he rears up and looks around curiously. This could be Grizzly Bear or a Kodiak Bear, as most large bears will stand up tall on their hind legs so they can see farther. A nice small bronze that would make a good paperweight on a desk.
