4" Diving Bear by Oqituq Shaa *Bradley* Inuit paintings An Inuit carver must be

An Inuit carver must be extremely dedicated to his art just to overcome this obstacle

The suspension of the seals is an example of this innovative approach to simulating reality

The color conveys a very warm yet modernistic feel to it

4" Diving Bear by Oqituq Shaa *Bradley* Inuit paintings An Inuit carver must beInuit art: Diving Bear Inuit Artist: Oqituq Shaa Size: 4" across, 2" high Community: Cape Dorset, NU 10 22 Stone: Serpentine id: dfa N7747Pajjy This colour combination of rusty orange and dark green is stunning. Now add Bradley's almost vertical position and this is a 10 out of 10 carving. Most Diving bears' bodies are parallel to the floor. I appreciate the kind of talent and experience that allows Abraham to carve this incredibly strong Diving bear.
