Large Inuit Whale Bone Carving of Polar Bear Head

Item Details

Description

**First Time At Auction**

Native American / First Nations, United States, Alaska or Canada, Inuit, ca. mid-20th C. A marvelous whalebone sculpture of the head and gaping maw of a polar bear. The artist used the natural anatomy and some minimal carving of mouth, eyes, and nostrils, drilling 4 sockets for the fangs- which are carved from a less porous bone or perhaps deer antler. Whale bone sculpture requires the use of older bone that has dried and ossified - new bone will splinter and be too oily to carve- hence the wonderfully aged and weathered appearance of these works. Animals, such as this polar bear, were vital Indigenous people's survival, and were often represented in sculptural works such as this - bone being more readily available to the Arctic region than wood. Size: 12" L x 13" W x 8.5" H (30.5 cm x 33 cm x 21.6 cm)
