12" Muskox Horn Bird by Buddy Alikamik *Willow* Inuit paintings This sculpture is so true

This sculpture is so true to life I am holding my breath as if I just saw a real whale

Poignant because the carving depicts the dependency the Inuk has on his dogs and his dogs on the Inuk

(9" horizontal) 7

I am astonished and ever so grateful to stumble upon an even more spectacular piece

but the lines and curvatures are absolutely perfect
