A flattened, compressed silhouette gives this rapturous bird a poised gravity. Incised feathers rake the surface in crisp lattices, while a wedge beak and keen eye focus its profile. The green-gold stone glints with crystalline flecks, cool to the touch and eye, with the edges softly rounded. Arnaqu, like Kenojuak Ashevak, distills avian clarity into brilliant form. Gorgeous.
