Seal statue by Nowdla - Nunavut - Stone, Soapstone - Canada

Splendid sculpture of Canadian native art (Inuit) depicting a seal lying on its side, characterized by soft, sinuous lines typical of Arctic aesthetics.

Artist: Signed by the artist Nowdla (inscribed on the tag and presumably etched into the stone at the base of the work).
Community of Origin: Lake Harbour (now known as Kimmirut), Nunavut, Canada.

Date of Creation: October 1983.

Material: Indigenous stone from the Arctic region (serpentine or hard chlorite), mirror-polished with a dark coloration and deep natural veining.

Certificate of Authenticity: Includes the historic Canadian government tag card "Igloo Tag Trademark".

This international seal attests that the work was entirely handcrafted by an artist of Inuit origin. On the back is also visible the round stamp with the inventory/identification number of the piece.

Condition: Excellent vintage condition, with the natural luster and the grain patterns typical of the original stone.
