Detailed Polar Bear

Artist : Jake Kadluk
Size : H 7"  W 13.5"  D 7.5"
Baffin Island Serpentine
Certified Authentic

Words cannot do any justice to the following masterpiece by master carver Jake Kadluk of Igloolik, Nunavut.  The piece itself was sculpted from one solid block of serpentine in 2003 and the finished result is a 20 lb. work of art.  The detailing on the Polar Bear really makes this carving stand out.  Most Inuit carvings are polished to a smooth shine but in the following this is not the case.  The Polar Bear is rough to the touch with no detail overlooked.  From the Polar Bears fur coat right down to the paws the artist has taken the time to make this piece as authentic as possible.  Sculptures of this form take a great deal of time to complete as master carver Jake Kadluk has left nothing to the imagination with this breathtaking display of Inuit Art.  The artist has even included a small bite out of one of the Polar Bears ears to which he told us " This bear was in a fight in his younger years and lost part of his ear!"
