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.

A lovely small carving from Baker Lake in the typical Baker Lake basalt black stone. The carving is by Hugh Haiqpi. I don't know much about Hugh, but I do have another carving by him. Maybe he is a new carver, but I like his style. This little Dancing Man measures 2 x 1 x 3.5 inches and Hugh seems to have captured quite a joyous moment. It's almost as if you can hear the guy singing for joy.

This little carving by Tytoosie Quvianatouliaq, called Heads, only measures 2 x 1.5 x2 inches; so it is quite small. Especially if you compare it with Tutuiya Qatsiya' sculpture listed a few blogs back. Whereas one sculpture seems to speak to the powerful struggle of man to be an individual formed by it's community, this little one seems to make more a spiritual statement. Almost like an amulet to hold, to be protected by good spirits. It's such a small carving in serpentine stone, yet I counted six profiles of heads emerging out of the stone. Tytoosie Quvianatouliaq is from Cape Dorset.
