Inuit Carved Stone Figure by Pavia Thorsen, Paamiut 1981. This sculpture depicts a woman from Royal Greenland and is made from soapstone.
The figure stands at 6 inches (15.24 cm) tall and was hand-carved using traditional techniques. This piece is a stunning example of Inuit art and culture, with intricate detailing and a beautiful finish. It appears some chipping has occurred to the front left foot as pictured.
Original tag still in place from Royal Greenland Trade Department.
