Description
A vintage Canadian Arctic-style carved stone sculpture depicting a standing figure dressed in traditional cold-weather clothing and holding a small hand tool attached to a twisted cord. The figure is carved from mottled dark grey-green stone with incised decorative detailing around the parka hem and boots.
The sculpture has a substantial weight for its compact size and retains attractive hand-worked surface texture throughout. The underside bears an indistinct hand-incised marking or initials; the artist could not be confidently identified from the visible marking, so no attribution is being made.
