Black Walrus by Noah Onalik

Community: Iqaluit
Stone: Serpentine
Inuit art: Walrus

This is a gorgeous dark colored basking walrus made by Noah Onalik from Iqaluit, Nunavut. The dimensions and proportions are very life like. There are beautiful curvatures contouring the sculpture. This walrus is full of life and grace. I particularly admire the tusks which add a wonderful contrast to the beautiful dark stone.
