Just has a carving number, but the feet and rock type are very similar to Moses (Mosusie) Echalook's work

Lovely! Where do you find them all?

by **NaomiM** Wed Sep 06, 2023 10:38 pm

Most of them are off eBay. A few found in charity shops and antiques fairs

This is beautiful - love the facial expression too! Do you know who it's by?

Its very similar to the Samwillie Quarak piece above but unfortunately its not signed and i havent been able to track down the carving number

by **NaomiM** Sun Dec 31, 2023 5:15 pm

Via ebay. Sadly arrived broken so had to return it

How infuriating!

by **NaomiM** Mon Jan 01, 2024 11:31 am

It was in a box barely bigger than the piece itself. Some people think that because its stone it’s hard, but its just as brittle as pottery

by Seal on a Rock Mon Jan 01, 2024 5:01 pm

Oh I hate it when people do that - why bother sending stuff if you're not going to pack it properly?!!!

Came with green felt stuck to the base. Removed it to find a partial signature, carving number and label. Markoshie?
The Inuit Art group suggested Markusie Anuakak who was carving in Povunituk (Povungnituk); he died in Akulivik. Unfortunately I haven't found his work online.
