Inuit Artists have a fascinating ability to carve delicate beauty into the antlers or tusks of a fallen animal like FAMILY TREE.
These collections of small carvings are reminiscent of renaissance tapestries. .
The tapestries depicted scenes of everyday life.
They illustrated stories, fables and myths.
So too, the rich embroidery carved in bone illustrate symbols and images of everyday Inuit life.
The reverent face of the old Inuk is stunning in its meticulous detail.
The man appears real, as if he would speak if you called his name.
The points of the antler resemble branches of trees.
Is this an Inuit version of the Tree of Life?
