This person is seen leaning to the left while trying to drag a seal home. The carving is done nicely in a mostly grey stone with blotches of red -brown shining through. A lovely stone. The carver, Alilie Nayomealuk from Inukjuak, has nicely captured the effort of dragging the catch to a safe place. The carving (dated from 2001) measures 3.5" x 2" x 7"

the way Sedna is holding on to her seal, her creature from the sea. George comes from Akulivik and has been quite prolific in making little carvings.
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.
