An early 20th century Canadian folk art maple wood carved Inuit figure group
About the Item
This superb rare figure group is a piece of Canadian folk art. It is beautifully hand carved in Canadian yellow maple wood, a heavy, dense timber. It depicts two young indigenous people from the Arctic region of Canada in a romantic meeting whilst both out in their kayaks on open choppy water captured in a lovely warm embrace and kiss. This delightful carving is a scarce subject matter which is also very appealing. It has a good rich colour and patination. Canadian, circa 1930
