One of my favorite pieces: a carving by Bessie Crow from what used to be Belcher Island. And I would have to look up what its present day name is. This is a carving of a Ptarmigan, done in steatite, a lovely, very light colored stone. To me, it resembles a bit marble, and I guess I now have upset every geologist. But, it has that quality to me. I just love Bessie Crow's pieces, particular her ptarmigan carvings. They are so simple, yet so majestic, sphinx like almost. This particular ptarmigan, that I have held on to for a long time, measures 2.5" x 5.5" x 3.25"
