Masterpiece Carving! Museum quality Sculpture!
CURATOR'S CHOICE
In the more remote Arctic communities, carvers were encouraged to sculpt small ivory pieces that would be more economical to ship because of their light weight and higher volumes (given their small size).
I love the detail of the polar bears who seem perplexed by the distance between their prey and themselves. For those reasons, I had to make A Leap of Faith a CURATOR'S CHOICE.
