Here is an old fashioned minimal style seal carving. What I like about this seal is the solid feel of it.
Not at all a cuddly, blubbery seal with lovely curves. Nevertheless a great presence, evoking a harsh climate.
This carving is by Yaw Alayco and is probably from before 1980. The carving in a grey, green tinted stone (probably argalyte) measures 9" x 2.5" x 3.5" and comes from Sanikiluaq.
