Elegant Inuit Black Stone Carved Owl Karin og Aase ceramic as if they are old

as if they are old friends and this happens everyday

which I suppose would allow one to hang it around one's neck

Of course they are so beautiful that they are also perfectly wonderful just to keep at home

but very little on the face

Elegant Inuit Black Stone Carved Owl Karin og Aase ceramic as if they are oldI'm sure this Inuit carving, with its crooked beak, represents an owl, but is a fairly unusual one from what I've found in its minimalism, feeling quite like a modernist sculpture. Very striking I think, with a really strong presence. 4 3 4 t x 5 1 4 long measured on the square; 1 lb 6 oz. Signed (incised) in syllabics with a disc number on the underside. Very good condition, with a few flaws in the stone, which appear native to it.
