Inuit (Eskimo) Soapstone Sculpture / Handmade Carving - Man With Fish

Fine Art : Sculptures : Native : Inuit : Soapstone

 

This is a wonderful Inuit image of a man with a fish (Arctic Char?) that was hand carved by a native of northern Canada. This terrific sculpture is signed in syllabic Inuktitut on the base with the artist’s name and the number 8-1454 which could be used to identify the artist and date. There is also the Canadian government Igloo tag certifying authenticity. This wonderful carving stands approximately 5" high and measures approximately 5 1/4" across and 3 ½" deep. It weighs just over 2 lbs. There is a small hole in the base which we don’t know the purpose of but appears intentional and not a flaw, and the piece is in excellent condition.
