Any info regarding this piece would be helpfull. How many he made of this design? Does anyone have a matching design out there ? Who bought them ,this piece has history in Mich that is all I Know and that it was hand made by the "Bear" himself.
Nice find! His website is still up and running and someone is presumably answering emails so you might try that route.
Your enamel piece is pictured here:

Slightly off subject but still a fun read, and he's a collector so he might be able to help too:

P.S. R.I.P. Bear
I saw that at the Richfield in Ohio, late 80s or early 90s (more likely the latter), he handed me a jeweler's loop to view it more closely...every feather's details stood out. He had done it under magnification. At that time I believe he was asking $2,000.
