Description

A memorial post consisting of a plain stout post about 3 metres high, surmounted by the large horizontal figure of a bear similar to, but much larger and more elaborately carved (including faces in the nostrils) than the bear in front of Property House. Like the former, this may have been a mortuary figure with a receptacle in the side to receive a box of ashes or a child's coffin.
