This is a carving depicting the old story of "The Giant and the Man" . Aisa Amittuk has carved the captured man, as he is being carried by the giant to his home, undoubtedly to meet a horrible end ... or does he? I guess you will have to read the ancient Inuit legend of The Giant and The Man. Aisa is a well known artist from Akulivik, previously from Povungnituk. The carving is 8 by 6.5 by 10 inches.
