Even if it were unsigned and unattributed we would wonder at the charm and power that this piece radiates. In what is a rather largish sculpture from Kugluktuk, Hitkolok has presented us with a formidable ovibos moschatus foraging for food. We love the sensuous form of the stone and the elegantly carved baleen horns. Delightful!
