Provenance: September 2025: Sadly, Pavinak recently passed away. He was a pillar for the Inuit art community and was well known for his gentle and jolly Caribou.
This Baby Walrus is a welcome unexpected carving.

 

SCRATCH MY TUMMY? is a sweet baby walrus lying on his back.on the ice.

His flippers reaching up like a human baby, is he asking for a hug or a scratch on his
tummy?.

His "baby" tusks are perfect.
  
He will grow into his tusks one day.

Suddenly, he will have become the familiar large Walrus we love.

Pavinak had a quirky carving style which is reflected in each of his pieces.

See our Petaulassie's  A Bearded Caribou.

Every collector deserves a carving by Petaulassie.
