Masterpiece Carving! Museum quality Sculpture!
PRANCER is an unusual Muskox.
He stands on his hind feet, Prancer with his front legs dangling in the air.
For all intents and purposes, he is Dancing!
His glorious thick coat, is strikingly beauty.
Etidloie has lovingly sculpted the thick hair in rivulets, like a slow flowing streaming.
Prancer's large Muskox head is kissed with puddles of rusty gold colour.
The deep gray green stone is enlivened by the dash of colour.
Prancer is a young muskox.
For the first 3 years of a young Bull's life, his horn buds are not visible.
Perhaps, Prancer's youth explains his posture.
Maybe, he has been running with the other young muskoxen all day and he is just exhausted!
Prancer is a fascinating sculpture.
Kellypalik deserves accolades and recognition for this kind of creativity and talent.
He is a Master Carver who consistently captures the essence of his subjects and then catapults that essence onto a higher level of artistry.
