Huge 18" Walking Bear by Noo Atsiaq (Fantastic Light Green)

Inuit art: Walking Bear
Inuit Artist: Noo Atsiaq
Size: 18" long, 10" high, 6" deep
Community: Cape Dorset, NU
Stone: Serpentine

This is a very special HUGE walking bear by Noo Atsiaq from Cape Dorset.

This bear measures 18" long, 10" high, 6" deep. Very heavy. It is a beautiful light green color with perfect proportions!

There are only about three or four active carvers in Cape Dorset who can create large bears. Noo is one of them. Carving big sculptures takes lots of experience and talent, it is also very physically challenging because of the weight of the rock.

The sculpture is made out of Cape Dorset stone serpentine.

A perfect gift for Christmas, birthday, anniversary and many other occasions.
