Arctic art

[gerspee]

This I have also for many moons now and I.am looking for the artist who made it and when and where exactly in the Arctic .  Its unsigned but maybe to link to a Arctic artist . Height is 9.5 cm . I have read somewhere that there figures could mean something so not only nice crafted stones .

I this is from the artic....then it could only have been made by the ..Inuit.......see link

And what is this supposed to represent ?? Looks rather indistinct and plain to be Inuit !!

Actually some of it is simplistic.  http://www.inuitarteskimoart.com/product_info.php?products_id=6509  Simple sometimes makes a big statement.  Lets the imagination create.

as Ice says.....its all about imagination..or you could ..drop a Tab of Acid....and it can become anything you want.... .

The nicest thing would be to link it to a certain Inuit artist .  Maybe the new links given by you all will help .

Your kidding,,Right ??

No not really kidding and there where not so much Inuit artists known in the 20th century . And there styles where all different before tourists came . So a lot off private art the made was not signed then.  That means that this figure cut is to link to one person because there all different in what the see and make of there piece off stone . Long run yes ...But rewarding if ...Yes

Thats what comes from living in the Boonies Mart....now you,ve learned something else.....Eskimo,s make more than Igloos....and eat 3 month old dead Walrus meat that they bury under the ground ..to keep it "fresh".....
