Large Inuit Carved Bird with Wonderfully Snaking Neck tramp art textile with a crack in theA striking vintage Inuit carving of substantial scale, the latter of which and its presence photos don't well capture. Its the long snake of the neck and shape of the head that really makes if for me, with a whole lot of life in those not quite smooth curves, and the bluntness of the beak, and the placement of the incised concentric circles of the eyes. Of a dark green stone with some veins in it that lend irregularity, all to the good. C. 1970s or
