Masterpiece Carving! Magnificent Movement!
Harrison Jr. Miklahook is a well-respected carver from Alaska.
He uses whalebone, baleen, and muskox horn to carve his magnificent sculptures like ANCIENT WISDOM.
(Baleen are strips of fibrous tissue that filter food like teeth).
Sea turtles do not inhabit the Arctic waters.
Occasionally, a leatherback may find its way to warmer waters in Alaska, but it is a rare event.
Ancient Wisdom is a gorgeous piece.
Who can resist the charm of a turtle’s chiselled face?
