4" Walking Bear by David Shaa *Bryson*Inuit art: Walking Bear Inuit Artist: David Shaa Size: 4" across, 2" tall Community: Cape Dorset, NU 10 22 Stone: Serpentine id: dfa 6323Qafjy Is there anything more sophisticated than a pure black bear? The black may not delineate the nooks and crannies of the carving but the black supercharges the lines of the sculpture so they become magnified to the eye. I love Bryson's extended right paw. Is he offering it in friendship? Such a sweet mini bear.

Every collection should be graced with one of these cranes

captured my heart as I hope it will capture yours

The light bounces off the metal like rays of the sun

In this carving

and symmetry of this owl cannot be duplicated

This is a beautifully carved apple green dancing bear made by Mosesee Pootoogook from Cape Dorset

Quest's wide and powerful neck is appealing

My immediate reaction to this Shaman is happiness

this walrus tusk is restricted for sale to all residents outside of Canada

The male head is decidedly Inuit with his angled eyes

The physical attributes of the carving

Even the posture is ambiguous
