Signature Obscured - Walking Figure
Classical Inuit
Basalt
Size (inches): 5 x 2
Size (cm): 12.5 x 5
Status: Available for Purchase
Observations: Dated to the early 1950s, the stone used here is grey basalt, a difficult stone to work. The figure strides forth, carrying part of a caribou. The actual carving is reminiscent of Henry Moore and his use of lumpen yet sensuous forms.
