Description
A charming vintage Canadian seal sculpture depicting the animal resting with its head raised and flippers spread. The streamlined form features a softly polished grey, cream and brown mottled finish, with simple incised eyes and carved detailing along the flippers and divided tail.
The underside retains a worn Canadian manufacturer’s label, although the maker’s name is only partially legible and cannot be confidently identified from the remaining label. Similar Canadian souvenir carvings were produced in both natural stone and stone/resin composite materials, so the exact material of this example is not confirmed. Comparable vintage Canadian seal sculptures range considerably depending on maker, material and attribution.
