8" Seal by Louie Uttaq Gjoa Haven *Ocean Adventurer*Inuit art: Seal Inuit Artist: Louie Uttaq Size: 8" long, 5" high, 4" deep Community: Gjoa Haven, NU Material: Serpentinite & Caribou bone id: c 003 This is a beautiful rendition of a swimming seal by Louis Uttaq. The piece is elevated on an antler allowing the viewer to observe the seal as it speeds through the water like lightening. This perspective is rare since we usually see a seal solidly planted on the ground. The details are exquisite; large
