Saga is the gem of our exclusive collection of Gentle Giants. (Very Large Sculptures)
Without a doubt, Saga is a very unusual Inuit carving.
She is Jonasie Faber’s Mona Lisa.
When we began our search for Very Large sculptures to exhibit in our Gentle Giant Collection, we knew each piece must be magnificent.
The response was positive.
Collectors are hungry for change: for a once in a lifetime art piece.
Saga delivers.
She is rare in her subject and beautiful in her execution.
She opens your eyes to new ideas and attitudes about Inuit art.
Jonasie Faber (b1944) is an Inuit carver from Greenland with a passion for history, Vikings, and his Inuit ancestry.
My suspicion is that Saga is a tribute to the ancient Norse and Inuit people (Thule) from which he descends.
These two cultures met in savage battles in Iceland in the 13th century.
The Thules unexpectedly won and became the modern day Inuit.
Saga is a Nordic beauty, with her long blonde braid, her regal stance, and chiseled features.
She has grace and dignity.
She has the posture of a figurehead on the bow of a Norse boat.
She wears a plain off-the-shoulder dress (embossed with the image of a cat on her bodice) and keeps her hands demurely folded.
Faber’s fascination with Norse history has resulted in the creation of a rare Inuit sculpture that honors a watermark event in Inuit history.
Saga is a Masterpiece that most collectors will see only once in their lifetime.
Her investment value is extraordinarily high.
Let me explain.
In 2006, Waddington’s Auction House sold a Joe Talirunili Migration Boat for $200,000.
In the past seven years, two more Talirunili boats have realized $360,000 and $409,000.
Saga and the Migration boats are sculptures that are esthetically magnificent and are also markers of significant events in Inuit history.
They have captured the attention and the hearts of educated art enthusiasts.
You will never regret investing in the great Inuit carvers.
When you venture into this arena of very large, rare and beautiful Masterpieces....
You will have reached a higher level of art appreciation and a desire for more of these MAGNIFICENT pieces
