Striking Signed Inuit Black Stone Duck children's book and Harry creates title pages

and Harry creates title pages before each individual lesson

Frame shows a little wear and surface loss at bottom right corner

Striking Signed Inuit Black Stone Duck children's book and Harry creates title pagesI find the form of this one so beautiful, with the neck and body forming a nearly perfect 90 degree angle, like a perfectly bent elbow, and then almost an exact 45 degree angle could be drawn from beak to tail. I have often said my favorite Inuit pieces hold multiple states or opposing gestures in harmonic balance, which I think this carving does in the most succinct way possible, body pointing straight ahead, head turned straight back. Lovely. 3 l x
