11" 2 Way Dancing Bear by Kooyoo PeterInuit art: Two Way Dancing Bear Inuit Artist: Kooyoo Peter Size: 11" tall, 6" wide, 5" deep, 7 lbs Community: Cape Dorset, NU Stone: Serpentine id: b 8899adjjy MASTERPIECE CARVING A rare breed of Inuit carver, Kooyoo Peter sets himself apart from the rest of the pack. His name has become associated with elite Master Carvers Nuna Parr, Tuk Nuna, and Markosie Papigatok. All of these maestros are sought after for their interpretation of the bear spirit.

I have been so lucky to recently acquire some pieces which he carved in the last few years but for some reason were not on the open market

Very few artists reach this status
