Inuit artists of Cape Dorset (Kinngait) nearby Baffin Bay, are known for large-scale serpentine sculpture carving - very strong and heavy stone - with smooth + glossy finish.                 <div><br></div><div>Given a piece of this size/scale. and wonderful details is unsigned - leads us to believe it was done by Inuit artist&nbsp;NIVIAQSI (NIVIAKSIAK) (1908-1959) KINNGAIT (Cape Dorset).  </div><div><br></div><div></div><div>"Niviaqsi was a brilliant artist, but the details of his life remain somewhat sketchy and enigmatic. The artist (once commonly known as Niviaksiak) began carving in 1951, no doubt with the encouragement of James Houston. Though never prolific, Niviaqsi was firmly established as an important sculptor by 1955, and as a talented graphic artist by 1959, the year of his untimely and mysterious death (see Lots 20 and 21). The mythology surrounding his life and death refer to him as a famous carver of bears but there are few if any published examples. As a carver of people, however, Niviaqsi produced both small and larger masterpieces."</div>                <br>Condition: Exceptionally great, no damage whatsoever <br>Measurements: 21&#34; long, 7&#34; high (at head) <br>Pickup category timeslot {A}
