Much of the three-dimensional art from the 1950s and 60s is observational in nature and chronicles the daily life of the Inuit.

Scenes from camp life and the animal world abound. The Inuit were intimately knowledgeable about the animals upon which they depended for their survival. It was also believed that all animals possess a spiritual essence or soul. This respect for life sustaining animals is visible in this charming depiction of a relaxed pinniped who certainly has no shortage of personality!Provenance
