Arctic Bird by Alec Appaqaq

Inuit art: Loon
Size: 7” long, 3.5" tall, 2" wide
Community: Sanikiluaq, NU
Stone: Argillite
Inuit Artist:  Alec Appaqaq

This is a wonderfully carved dark green Loon made from Sanikiluaq. What attracted me to this piece is the fact that is sends a positive vibe to its surroundings. It is a happy loon as is shown with the eyes. It gives me a happy feeling when I look at this loon, which in my opinion is a wonderful feature for a piece of art to have.

I also admire the beautiful lines, shape and proportions of this Loon. It almost wants to float on its own in the air.
