Lot #2: Exceptional Inuit Soapstone Sculpture – Kneeling Figure with Seal

A Museum-Quality Work of Indigenous Art Presenting a superbly carved Inuit soapstone sculpture, crafted in deep, polished black stone with remarkable warmth, personality, and traditional authenticity. This piece features a kneeling Inuit figure cradling a seal, an iconic subject symbolizing survival, respect for nature, and the deep bond between the hunter and the land. Why This Sculpture Stands Out • Hand-carved from premium dark soapstone, giving it a luxurious, satin finish. • Beautifully rounded forms and expressive facial features, showcasing the artist’s mastery. • Classic Inuit subject matter—a highly desirable theme for collectors and galleries. • Solid and substantial, with excellent presence on a pedestal, console, or gallery shelf. • Timeless mid-century to late-century Inuit aesthetic, making it an impressive interior décor statement. A Collector’s Investment Authentic Inuit stone carvings continue to rise in value, especially pieces with strong form, emotional expression, and traditional themes like this one. Whether you’re an investor, art collector, or interior designer, this sculpture offers both cultural significance and enduring resale value. Pickup category timeslot {A}
