Vintage Inuit sculpture by Isaac Panigayak (1950-) depicting a loon protecting its nest. Handcrafted in Canada with intricate details showcasing the artist's skill and the rich Canadian Aboriginal culture. This collectible piece is a testament to the artisan's talent and the beauty of Inuit artistry. Perfect for those who appreciate unique and meaningful works of art from Indigenous communities.  Birds in and protecting their nest was a favorite theme of this artist and there are examples of his work online and at the Katilvik website. This work is carved from soapstone and mounted on a piece of antler.  I have another very early version of this theme from Isaac and it is also an amazing piece.  This work is signed in English and syllibic on the bottom of the Loon.  I always package to insure safe and cost affective delivery and only ship with tracking and insurance.  Questions are always welcome and thank you for visiting my page.
