Description

Man Pulling Walrus by Johnny Kavik from Sanikiluaq is a fine example of the craftsmanship coming from, what was then known as, Belcher Island from the 1960-1970’s. A nice carving with nice detail and good dynamics. This carving has come to us through the secondary market but still has its original label from the Metiq Co-op.
