MASTERPIECE CARVING - SHARE IN THE LEGEND
Provenance 2026:
Nuna Parr passed away in February 2026.
Nuna carved this rare Running Bear using Apple Green stone in the mid-2010s.
RUNNING BACK has lived with a proud collector for years and is now part of the Steven's estate.
Since Nuna's passing, there are fewer and fewer bears available to the public.
Running Back is one of Nuna's last Bears and is unique because Running bears are an uncommon subject even though they are a variation on a Dancing Bear.
Naturally, Nuna's Running Bear is Magnificent.
Finished in an exquisite Apple Green stone from Kimmirut, Running Back is honoured to be one of Nuna Parr's quintessential Masterpieces.
He is overflowing with energy and personality.
Nuna's Dancing bears are a bit more reserved and happy to lumber along the way.
I am confident that ALL of Nuna's bears will double or triple in value in the years to come.
RUNNING BACK is no exception.
He is the quintessential Nuna Parr bear.
The apple green serpentine stone is opulent and vibrant.
The stone gives the carving majesty and a youthful spirit.
The movement is dynamic and expressive.
The finish is smooth, unblemished and polished to a mirror shine.
Running's size is large and perfectly proportioned.
Inuit art enthusiasts understand the notoriety and pride that comes with owning a Nuna Parr bear.
Pure and simple, Nuna was the best Inuit carver for Bears in the world!
This is not an exaggeration.
Nuna's pieces sell well into the five digit category.
They are investment pieces.
How proud would a company be to have this sculpture in the front foyer or board room?
How happy would you be to love this piece of Canadian history every day in your home or getaway space.
