Marvelous Isah Papialuk (Povungnituk Inuit) 1985 Carved Stone "Winged" Seal large jug I really love the rangeAnother wonderful Inuit stone carving of a wonderful creature, this one I believe a seal with front flippers raised, I believe about to plunge into the sea, but looking equally as if it might take flight.

Signed (incised) and dated on
