This carving of a (I believe) woman fishing is done by Pita Pirti from Akulivik. The carving is relative small measuring 2 x 3.5 x 3.5 inches. The pictures don't show it well but the stone is a mottled black-brown stone and has quite a nice hue.
For a small carving it has remarkably strong lines and gives a good sense of the patience involved in fishing. It has nice details in fishing pole, fishing line and a caught fish, all in less than 3.5 inches.
