Vintage hand-carved soapstone bear sculpture in the traditional Inuit / Eskimo art style.
This solid stone carving features a beautifully simplified modernist bear form with natural stone coloration and hand-carved details. The bottom appears signed and dated “1992.”
The sculpture has a wonderful organic presence and displays very well in rustic, lodge, modern, or Native art collections.
