Buddy Bear is a collectible figurine, with the one in the image being a specific design known as the "Cuba Bear" or "Siboney Bear". It is part of the United Buddy Bears project, an international art exhibition that features bears decorated by artists from over 140 countries to promote peace, tolerance, and understanding.
The Cuba Bear, designed by Cuban artist Nancy Torres, is a reflection of Cuban culture and history. The text on its arms refers to the arrival of Christopher Columbus in 1492 and the introduction of tobacco to the world by the indigenous Cuban people, the Siboney, who are mentioned by the artist as the inspiration for the bear's name.
