This is a beautiful goose from Cape Dorset directly from Johnysa Mathewsie. What is so special about this carving is the striking dark color of the stone. 

This goose is finished in a beautiful black marble stone which accentuates and further enhances its divine imagery into a further element of sophistication.

The tenuous embroidery of feathers, atomic proportions and exquisite beauty have allowed Mathewsie's loons to be celebrated among the avant garde circles of Inuit art. Solo works and publications by him have been adopted and praised worldwide.
