Inuit art can be so diverse in its representations. Different media, different reflections, small size, large size, experienced well renowed artist or young teenagers having a first go at expressing themselves. It's such a rich field.
This carving of two seals enjoying a rest on a rock is a nice example of a smaller piece of art.
The two seals, done in ivory, are very nicely carved and despite the small size of each seal (not more than an inch) show a lot of detail. The rock they are sunning on is a light soft green stone. All in all a wonderful little wildlife scene. The arist is Henry Nakoolak from Coral Harbor. The overall dimension is 2.5 by 2 by 1.25 inches. I just wished I had sharper photographs. Well maybe an update soon. Cheers.
