1985 Inuit green soapstone duck

Soapstone carving is a traditional art form deeply rooted in Inuit culture, particularly in regions of Canada like Frobisher Bay (now Iqaluit) in Nunavut. Inuit artists have utilized the soft, easily workable nature of soapstone, often sourced from local quarries, to create intricate sculptures depicting wildlife, human figures, and scenes from their daily lives and mythology. These carvings are highly sought after for their unique aesthetic, cultural significance, and the skill involved in their creation. It is 4”x 4”x3.75”.
