What is in this image? Describe it as if you were explaining it to someone from the 15th century.

Imagine a whimsical depiction of a bear, crafted not by the hand of a skilled artisan in wood or stone, but drawn simply with ink on parchment. This bear stands upright like a man, and wears a necktie—a length of cloth that marks a person of some standing or business in future centuries. Its face is round and jovial with large, dark eyes gleaming with a friendly spirit. The creature''s ears are small and rounded atop its head, and its arms are outstretched as if ready to embrace. The simplicity of the lines and the creature''s cheerful expression aim to delight and amuse, akin to the mirthful tales shared by minstrels or the playful scenes found in a tapestry.
