While we may never know the identity of the maker of this wonderful Sea Goddess, we marvel at the serene power of this expressive little sculpture. One wonders if it wasn’t intended as a talisman in that it fits so perfectly in the palm of the hand. The artist has also fashioned a separate ivory support to transform the piece into a recumbent Sedna.

Provenance
Ex. Coll. M. Michel Moreault, Montreal. Moreault was the director of the famed Dominion Gallery in Montreal, working under the famous Dr. Max Stern. He also sat on the board of the Canadian Guild of Crafts.
