Provenance:

Private collection, Massachusetts

Note:

Finely carved in crisp detail by an unidentified artist, the delicate profile and style of embellishment in the present sculpture evoke the work of fellow Kinngait artists Abraham Etungat and Osuitok Ipeelee. A lovely work in its own right, the sculpture dating the 1960s, is from an era that witnessed a remarkable flowering in Kinngait sculpture.
