In fact, this piece is so stellar, I don't even know which picture to use as the main one.

I dont really need to describe in great detail this piece. The visage, the meticulously placed etching marks, the gorgeous dark green stone, and the movement are all museum quality. What is so special about this piece is the fact it won first place. You cannot say that about too many pieces of art. This is one of them.
This is an out of this world exhibition piece by world famous Jimmy Iqaluq. The smooth finish, posture of the hunter, and the overall crispness of the piece a world class carving. Winning first place makes it special.
A prize winning piece like this is nothing short ov an investment for any collector. It will achive tremendous value over the years.
