The carving is completely perfect, and brand new!

What really strikes me about Noo Atsiaq's work are that his dancing and walking bears seem to almost want to float into weightlessness on their own. They are so elegantly and gracefully carved. His contours and edges are smooth and rounded to such a finite detail that it allows the carving to achieve a certain poise, disposition and grace unlike any other dancing bears out there. This is why he is considered one of the most talented artists alive for dancing bears.

Since Noo Atsiaq is still under 40 years old, the fact that he has already mastered this skill makes him poised to become one of the most famous artists around and is certain to join the ranks as one of the greats in Inuit art.

The dark color, the beautiful veins riding against the skin, the movement and the gorgeous shiny polish are all attributes that make this bear beautiful and full of life.
