Another Wonderful Inuit Caribou Antler bird christian martyrdom there seems to be perhapsTheres a dealer in New Hampshire I visit who has been putting these Inuit carved antler birds out one at a time for me to find, and this is the last of them. I love how these are all about the natural curves of the antler bone, Caribou I believe, with minimal interventions to render them as birds.
