This is a gorgeous caribou carving by Sheokjuk Carriere from Iqaluit, Nunavut. The tone of the rock is very smooth and well polished. I always liked caribou carvings because the light colored bone antlers make a great contrast to the dark stone. This makes the carving really stand out. This piece is no exception. The proportions and shape are all perfect. It is a beautiful carving and has a harmonious feel to it.
