Inuit Art. Caribou by Qimeata Nungusuituq.
EXCEPTIONAL
HUGE CARIBOU CARVING BY THE MASTER INUIT CARVER QIMEATA NUNGUSUITUQ.
THIS MASTERPIECE WAS ACQUIRED DIRECTLY FROM HIS HANDS IN CAPE DORSET
(ARCTIC CANADA). THIS BEAUTIFUL CENTERPIECE IS NEW!
This stunning piece comes with an Igloo Tag (Certified of Authenticity).
This sculpture measures 21" long, 22" tall (including antlers).
It's HUGE! It's a HEAVY piece too. VERY IMPRESSIVE!
The sculpture is made out of Cape Dorset stone serpentine.
The carving is completely perfect. No imperfections!
The movement and lines on this caribou are extraordinary. Proportions are almost identical to that of a caribou. This is what makes this piece so unique and valuable. The time and expertise it takes an artist to make these proportions perfect are endless. 90% of a carvings value is determined on its proportions.
This is a remarkable piece with textured waved lines passing through the body which really illuminate it in its entirety.
This is what caught my eye when I saw this piece:
This piece is HUGE! BIG caribou carvings are always in demand in the collectors world, they don't get carved that often.
