This tender carving captures a charmingly anthropomorphized family of seals gliding through icy waters. The pup rides atop its parent’s back, evoking both movement and intimacy in an affectionate gesture....This tender carving captures a charmingly anthropomorphized family of seals gliding through icy waters. The pup rides atop its parent’s back, evoking both movement and intimacy in an affectionate gesture. The grouping suggests more than a scene of marine life, it tells a story of kinship and care. With its smooth curves and playful positioning, the work invites us to see the underwater world not only as wild but as deeply familial.Provenance
