What I find interesting about Inuit Carvings is, that even the simplest carving can become quite appealing. I don't know if it is in the touching, if it is the

appeal of the feel in the hand, the evoking images, or if it is even connected with the spiritual ideas of holding fetishes, amoulets, medallions, good luck charms. Whatever, something radiates.
This little seal (5.5 by 1.5 by 1.5 in grey stone) is by Johnassie Uppik from Sanikiluaq. It's lovely simple and it has that power to stop your mind and start dreaming.
