Inuit Native American Eskimo Signed Stone Carved Walrus Sculpture

About the Item

A wonderful soapstone carving of a walrus by the indigenous Inuit People who inhabit parts of the arctic regions of Greenland, Canada, and Alaska. Signed ("E.Y.") and numbered/dated (1669?) on the underside. From a collection of Native and North American tribal art and artifacts. We are not sure of the exact age so are simply dating as the Mid-20th Century. Would be a great addition to any Native American or tribal art collection or eye-catching stand-alone work. Dimensions: 3" high, 9" wide, 3" deep.

  • Large Signed Native American Hopi Original Mudhead Kachina Katsina Doll on Stand
    By Native American Art
    Located in Studio City, CA
    A wonderfully handcrafted/detailed and decorated Native American Hopi Mudhead Kachina doll. Quite an unusually large work. A striking piece overall. Hand painted with leather and possibly turquoise (necklace) accompaniment. Hopi katsina figures, also known as kachina dolls, are figures carved, typically from cottonwood root by the Hopi people. Initially, kachina dolls were made to instruct young girls and new brides about katsinas or katsinam, the immortal beings that bring rain, control other aspects of the natural world and society, and act as messengers between humans and the spirit world. The Mudhead or Koyemsi figure is viewed as a clown/joker figure who is responsible for laughter and entertainment at Hopi dances and ceremonial events. He plays drums and games to keep his audience engaged. The piece is signed by the artist under the base. From an extensive collection of Native American objects and artifacts. Would be a great addition to any Native American Art...
