Narwhals often have two tusks and not all narwhal have tusks.
WATER WARRIOR'S impressive tusk is his weapon, his eating utensil and an all purpose work tool.
An extraordinary creation, the tusk can grow to 10 feet long.
A tusk is an enlarged "tooth" that contains up to 10 million nerve endings!
Imagine a narwhal undergoing a root canal?
Jaco Ishulutak is one of Inuit art's top carvers.
His large human "fairytale" figures are legendary and only Jaco carves these beauties.
So too, Jaco's walruses and narwhals are spectacular in their execution.
Jaco has used a Realistic style to carve Warrior but also teases us with a touch of Abstraction around his head.
The facial features are more suggested than real.
This marine mammal is a beast.
His muscular body appears to move over the rocky ocean floor.
Jaco has gifted Warrior with a magnificent dark green/black stone.
The sheen is flawless and reflects every glimmer of light in the room.
Water Warrior is truly a Jaco Masterpiece!
