Richly Patinated c. 1960s Inuit Stone Seal Sculpture Signed Devie turquoise glazed and various hairline cracks allSigned "Devie," I believe this may be an early piece by Davie Atchealak (1947 2006) Iqaluit (Nunavut), also known as Devie. With quite a rich patina, I am quite certain it is an older piece, 1960s is my gut, and quite a beautiful one I think, with a light colored vein in the black stone creating a perfect ring around the neck of this graceful seal, stretched out on slab of stone, seemingly forever on the verge of slipping out to sea. Lovely all the
