Provenance Nov 5, 2025 - I visited with Toonoo Sharky in Cape Dorset and purchased this spectacular OOKPIK from him.


CHESTER is a Toonoo Sharky Masterpiece!

Toonoo never fails to INSPIRE.

Year after year, he finds the inspiration and creative energy to create some of the most incredible sculptures in modern Inuit Art.

Two outstanding features of this dramatic Owl . . . . 

The first, is the luscious ivory infused with pastel pink tones.

Unusual and rare, this stone mesmerizes.

Every beautiful feature of the owl is showcased, particularly Chester's eyes.

The second outstanding feature is Chester's eyes!

So large and dynamic, they appear to be watching you!  

Toonoo's inlaid eyes are always above average, but Chester's eyes are quite magnificent.

It is hard to describe the majesty of this piece!

If you could see him in person, you would be stunned.

Toonoo is in the top ten of Canada's Inuit carvers.

His talent is genius.

His commitment to his craft is 100%
