Masterpiece Carving! Museum quality Sculpture!
Many parts of a caribou are long and lean, and often snap and break during the carving process.
Carving a Standing caribou takes skill and courage!
Now the sculpture must balance on only two legs instead of four.
As you savour Lost's lankiness, are you completely in awe of Towatuga's carving talent?
Lost has a regal disposition to him but at the same time you can feel his lightedhearted approach to life as he stands tall and surveys the world around him.
The simpleness of his antlers reinforces my suspicion that this caribou doesn't take himself too seriously.
He doesn't want to be weighed down by a majestic set of antlers or take on the responsibility of leading a herd.
Instead, he is happy to explore and enjoy the world around him.
