height 11in, width 6 1/2in
Footnotes:
The present example is representative of Lucy Tasseor Tutsweetok's preferred subject matter (human faces and forms that evoke the Inuit sense of family) as well as her appreciation for naturalistic forms that often resemble 'miniature mountains (Hessel, p. 157). Tutsweetok's minimalist approach is 'tied to 'imagin[ing]' the shape' inherent to her material rather than 'copying' a form' (Hessel, 'Lucy Tasseor Tutsweetok,' Feheley Fine Arts, 2015).

Provenance
The Wendy and Les Fisher Collection of Canadian Inuit Sculpture, Chicago, IL'

Good condition overall with a few scattered scratches, scuffs and inherent flaws commensurate with age and material. A few scattered nicks/fleabites including one to mother's right cheek.
