Inuit Art. Sedna (Mermaid) by Jimmy Iqaluq
OUTSTANDING LARGE SEDNA BY WORLD FAMOUS INUIT ARTIST JIMMY IQALUQ FROM SANIKILUAQ.
IT IS A MUSEUM QUALITY PIECE, WILL WORTH THREE/FOUR TIMES THE PRICE WHEN JIMMY STOPS CARVING.
The Sedna is the gooddess of the sea, one of the harder to carve subjects in Inuit art.
Jimmy Iqaluq is famous for his big, realistic looking Sedna carvings.
I've never seen a Sedna this beautiful before. This one is polished to a mirror shine, very detailed, realistic and even has some sea elements, like water, star fish, sea shell.
This Sedna is very large, it's tall and long: measures 13 inches long by 7.5 inches tall, 4" wide.
This is a center piece for an Inuit art gallery that can be a center piece of your home or office.
THIS CARVING IS IN PERFECT CONDITION, BRAND NEW.
The carving is signed on the bottom and comes with an igloo tag.
