17" Life-size Loon (Inuit Stone Carving)

Item Details

Description

Title: 17" Life-size Loon (Inuit Stone Carving)

Artist: Unknown Inuit Artist

Date Period: 20th Century (circa 1980 - 1990)

Materials: Sepentine

Dimensions: 17"h x 9"w x 9"d

Description: A spectacular and very large Inuit stone carving of a loon, created from rich mottled gray/black/green serpentine. This is a beautifully carved and sensitive piece, impressive in both scale and detail. There is no discernible signature, but the artist was obviously a skilled carver, and a keen observer of this species of waterfowl. Elaborate, detailed incisions in the stone delineate the bird’s wing-feathers, pin-feathers, tail, neck-band, eyes and beak. With great fidelity to form and finish, the life-size scale of this piece (17” tall) echoes the presence and beauty of a real loon. This classic piece would be a welcome addition to any collection of Inuit art.
