Lot #37: Stone Inuit Carving 7”

This weathered 7-inch Inuit stone sculpture depicts a hunter in a traditional kayak, hand-carved from a dark, textured soapstone with a natural matte finish. The figure is seated within the vessel, featuring minimalist facial details and a sturdy, rounded form characteristic of early to mid-century Arctic carvings. The kayak itself shows visible age and wear, including an organic surface texture and a notable fissure near the bow, which adds a sense of history and authenticity to the piece. This evocative work of Indigenous Canadian art represents a classic theme of Arctic survival and seafaring, making it a ruggedly beautiful addition to any collection of tribal or stone art.
