Cute but I guess it could be either though I'll vote bear. Quite a few years ago while volunteering at DHR, I helped with the intake of some Pamunkey pottery for display. I'm sorry that I don't remember about any artist anymore but you may be able to find out with some research. Here is a link to some DHR info on Pamunkey pottery. https://www.dhr.virginia.gov/first-...-of-virginia/modern-indians-a-d-1800-present/
