Lot Report

Note:

So much about finding the perfect miniature Pangnark is about the feeling it evokes. This work balances the delicate with the tactile. Arviat artists were adept at carving in this scale as many of them started out with shards of hard stone to work with. Pangnark’s carvings have since become synonymous with elegance and restraint.
