In this compact...Abraham Etungat’s “Birds of Spring” are a striking emblem of renewal and vitality, capturing the energy of the season in one of Kinngait’s most iconic sculptural forms. In this compact iteration, Etungat carves a bird that exudes with heraldic grace. Its outstretched wings, crisply etched with delicate feathers, contrast beautifully with the high polish of its smooth body, drawing the viewer’s eye to its confident, alert stance. The mottled green hues of the stone, reminiscent of fresh foliage, further heighten the sense of growth and renewal that defines the Spring season.
