Masterpiece Sculpture! Museum quality Carving!
Tales of HONOUR.
Tales of BRAVERY.
Tales of unbelievable COURAGE.
The human heart adores People and Animals who are selfless.
Those who would die for someone they loved to protect them or those who would put themselves on the line for a Cause.
Male Musk Oxen are instinctually destined to save and protect their herd.
When the herd is threatened, they form a circle around the females and young muskoxen, with their hind ends inward and their massive heads looking out in the direction of the threat.
That is their duty, or their destiny.
RICHARD THE MUSK OX HEARTED is such a Musk Ox.
He is spectacuar.
His pure jet black stone is exemplary.
The smooth mirror finish of the legs and head juxtaposed against the coral-like texture of the Muskox's coat is absolutely beautiful.
And the pattern of the hair of the coat is innovative. Usually, the hair is carved in a realistic style ie hanging vertically in ropes.
And then there is the head and the headpiece.
I love the tilt of the head, the soft facial features on the massive masculine head, and the immaculately carved dramatic headpiece.
Kelly's talent and vision is growing infinitesimally! This is a premium world class carving.
This Muskox sculpture is staggering in its composition and its beauty.
Keep an eye out for Kellypalik Etidloie.
His star is rising.
