This large earthenware slip-painted vessel has an incredible presence and physicality that make it feel like a very special object indeed
but this quintessentially Art Deco image of archeress and greyhound at the center of the lid
11 3/4" t x 3 7/8" w x 2 1/8" d
and various hairline cracks all over
One one side there is old red paint on the ball balanced on this nose of this seal
Richly Patinated c. 1960s Inuit Stone Seal Sculpture Signed Devie turquoise glazed This large earthenware slip-painted vesselSigned "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
