Magnificent Carving!

Buddy Alikamik is a stand out talent.

He can coax muskox horn into the shape of a delicate crane just like Loa.

Loa stands watch next to her eggs, tall, elegant and serene.

Her muskox horn body is a soft warm pink with hints of black and white.

Muskox horn carvings are stunningly beautiful because of their soothing colour and satin like texture of the horn.

Loa's sole purpose is to protect her eggs

She waits patiently for her offspring to hatch. 

Cranes are among the tallest birds in the world and their family bonds are long.

Loa is a stunning piece.
