Description
Baker Lake, Musk-ox, 1989, black stone, signed in syllabics, 12 x 18.5 x 7.25 in, 30.1 x 47.3 x 18 cm. Provenance: an American private collection. ... Arnasungaaq has carved many a musk-ox, large and small, in his long career. The “Barnabus Musk-ox” is perhaps the closest rival to the “Pauta Bear” as a “must have” emblematic piece of Inuit sculpture for many collectors. This work is an especially large and imposing version of the type. As he often does, Arnasungaaq has opted to emphasize all of the salient features of the animal: its bulky overall shape dominated by the tremendous hump, its coat of shaggy wool, and to a slightly lesser extent its spectacular horns. --- CATEGORIES: Inuit, Eskimo
