Lot #1: Soapstone Inuit Caring

Inuit soapstone sculpture, depicting a figure standing on a base. The figure is carved in a deep, dark grey/brown soapstone, and is poised in a dynamic, bent-over posture, suggesting an activity such as hunting, tracking, or working with a tool, though the hands are bare or gloved and not holding an object. The person is dressed in traditional cold-weather clothing, including a hooded parka and heavy boots, with carved lines emphasizing the seams and garments. The figure measures 4.5 inches in height and is attributed to the artist Taktuk (ES-110), as indicated by the signature and registration number often found on authentic Inuit art.
