Polar bear/ penguin detail caught my attention immediately!

I like the strap on it. It really brings out the warm brown/gold design work of the map and indices. The polar bear and penguin are amazing touches to this one. The whole thing reminds me of the PanAm logo in a way. Nice piece.

Actually it has it's original strap in first photo, and the new one in the second, I really tried to find the good match and I am glad that I did. Thanks a lot, I appreciate it 😊
