Masterpiece Carving! Museum quality Sculpture!
LOOKOUT has mass, strength, and spirit,
He peers inquisitively over his shoulder.
This is a classic Polar bear posture when they are trying to initiate play.
He lowers himself down and lumbers away toward his home.
The dark stone, the beautiful peeping eyes, and the overall sheer mass and size makes this sculpture not only a vintage like piece but also a highly prized museum piece.
Makittuq is renowned for his Polar bears.
Gjoa Haven is best known as the resting place of the ill-fated Franklin Expedition.
This community of carvers is very remote and because of this isolation, these artists have a wonderful unique style.
Inuit art enthusiasts look for Gjoa Haven sculptures because they add a sense of astonishment and innocent energy to their collections.
