With his recent conceptualizations of the muskox, Qimirpik proved himself to be not only a gifted and visionary sculptor but also a brilliant craftsman.

This depiction of a muskox is a superb example of Qimirpik's artistry at its purest. It is also absolutely delightful in quite an unexpected way.
