Masterpiece Carving! Museum quality Sculpture!
Gjoa Haven artists lean heavily toward creating scenes of Inuit life.
Vignettes depicting Inuit hunters and and Drum dancers are very popular.
ANCIENT STORIES is an exquisitely carved Drum Dancer with the most unique Inuit face.
Moses has carved a cherubic face that teeters on the edge of an Abstract style.
Ancient's eyes are more "suggested" than real.
The forehead protrudes over the rest of the face.
Incredible in imagination and execution!
Similarly, Ancient's body and clothing are one piece with minimal detail; another Abstract feature.
I love figures that hold sticks, drums , harpoons etc..
These essential accoutrements complete the vignette so beautifully!
