This may give you a better idea about the size of this bear from Cape Dorset. Kigigtuk Etidloie is the carver of this little one. The dimensions are 3 by 2 by 2. The stone is a wonderful mottled green. Bears are such a wonderful subject for Inuit carvers. Not only are they sometimes depicted whimsically, like dancing, clapping, hand-standing, etc, but also alert, on the prawl. menacing, or mothering their cubs, teaching them to survive, or in shamanic transformations. A great source for many myths and legends.
