7" Lying Polar Bear Gjoa Haven Joseph Suqslaq Above $1000Inuit art: Lying Bear Inuit Artist: Joseph Suqslaq Size: 7" across, 3" deep, 2" tall Community: Gjoa Haven, NU Material: Stone medium Fieldstone id: c 048 This is an adorable lying bear with the innocence of a dolphin. You watch him as he lumbers forward. Every step of his massive paws demands energy and therefore calories. He is hunting, scenting with his nose. He can detect his prey a kilometre away. Suqsluq often connects the upper and lower teeth

For collectors with limited space

But also a majestic warrior of the Arctic

His owls are valued very highly

It is full of life as well as an accurate depiction of a sitting bear

This belief (Animism) included people

This is an exquisite bird nest with egg carving by one of my favorite artists who is also very acclaimed: Mark Pitseolik from Kimmirut

It has taken him almost fifty years to achieve this level of skill and achievement

Stone: argillite

The crisp lines and smooth curves meld together hand in hand

I love his individually carved claws on his hands and feet
