Masterpiece Carving! Museum quality Sculpture!
Any fisherman knows, many hours are spent quietly, with no movement, waiting for the fish to bite.
WAITING WITH BAITED BREATH will strike a chord with all fishermen.
Our clients particularly love the scenes that show the activity above and below the ice!
Our intrepid fisherman has his spear stuck in the snow, and a baton in his left hand ready to pull the fish up through the hole in the ice when it strikes, and deliver the fatal blow.
Its a good day so far,
He has several fish on the ice and there are more swimming around under the ice.
What is he using for bait?
Complex scenes like Waiting are fascinating.
All sorts of nooks and crannies to explore.
Artists like Nuliavok are important contributors to the exploration of traditional Inuit life.
And his talent for detail and story telling is indisputable!
