This is a beautiful goose from Cape Dorset directly from Johnysa Mathewsie. What is so special about this carving is that there are two different colors in the stone. From the neck up, the stone color is a beautiful darkened serpentine stone. On the wings and torseau, the color is a fantastic light green. The two colors merging together really make this wonderful bird carving stand out.
What also really stands out is the tint of orange hugh on the wings and belly. There is something about this goose that is in perfect symmetry. It seems as though the proportions are almost accidentally perfect.
