This Canadian Inuit sculpture from the 1960s embodies the authentic spirit of Arctic folk art, meticulously hand-carved from soapstone. It depicts a seated woman dressed in traditional attire—a voluminous parka and a wide skirt or blanket, rendered in a cool, deep grey with a muted greenish cast typical of natural soapstone. The surface reveals faint white and light-grey veining and inclusions, particularly pronounced in the carved sections, lending subtle variation to its coloration. The form is robust and rounded, characterized by simplified, monolithic stylization typical of mid-20th-century Inuit carving. The facial features are minimally incised, almost hieratic in quality, and details such as hair and garment seams are etched with hand-finished lines
