This exquisite Inuit sculpture, is a mesmerizing work of art that harmoniously melds the raw beauty of antler with with a touch of black inlay. This sculpture captures the essence of grace and movement in an ethereal dance, elevating traditional Inuit artistry to new heights.
Crafted by a master artist, the walrus in this sculpture appears to be in mid-motion, gracefully swaying to the beat of an unseen drum, its body flowing with the rhythm of the music. The use of antler, a material deeply rooted in the Inuit artistic tradition, adds a unique organic quality to the piece. The artist's respect for the medium is evident in the delicate nuances revealed in the antler, echoing the landscape of the Arctic from which it originates.
This sculpture stands out due to its unique composition. While many dancing walrus Inuit sculptures exist, typically created from soft or semi-soft metamorphic rocks like soapstone and serpentine, this particular piece distinguishes itself by being exclusively crafted from antler. This choice of material sets it apart from the multitude of similar artworks. Dimensions: 4.25 x 2.5 x 2 inches. In excellent condition!
