Description

The olive green and black horizontal veins of the stone are spectacular.  This is by a master sculptor from the 1960's.  Artistically the highly shaped and polished body is contrasted by modernistic minimalism (except for the detailed back flippers).  This is a highly tactile sculpture.  The low E9 number points to an older sculptor in the 1960s. Arctic stone. 

Artist: E9-19, syllabic signature (Thought to be Sam Willie, Iqaliut 1960's)

Dimensions: 2.5"/6.5cm x 12.5"/31.5cm x 4"/10cm
