Magnificent Carving! Fantastic Movement!
Esau drove his skidoo for two days in order to get this brilliant white stone from the quarry (near Igloolik)
His dangerous journey was fraught with obstacles like blizzards, white outs, roaming polar bears and broken ice.
Esau is one of my favourite carvers.
He is talented and innovative.
MUSICAL CHAIRS is a winsome vignette of a Mother polar bear cavorting with her cub in a vigourous game of musical chairs.
The two bears are "embroidered" with etchings of Arctic animals and birds.
This is Esau's SIGNATURE.
The matte finish of the white stone shows of the magnificent motifs on the bodies of the Two bears.
This beautiful Sculpture will be a shining treasure in your collection!
