Bird and Seal

Region: Cape Dorset (Kinngait)

Large sculpture carved from Aberdeen Bay serpentine stone, originating from Baffin Island. The piece features a substantial and voluminous carving style that evokes the artistic creations of Cape Dorset artists during the 1960s and 1970s. Condition report notes: Tip of the bird's tail is missing, which also affects an area at the base of the sculpture. While this is not particularly conspicuous, it is important to acknowledge this aspect of the sculpture's condition.
