Description
Salluit (Sugluk), Hunter with Catch, ca. early 1960s, grey stone and ivory, signed in syllabics and with disc no., 9.25 x 3.5 x 5.25 in, 23.5x8.9x13.3 cm. ... Naluiyuk began carving some time in the 1950s and continued carving fairly steadily until at least the 1980s. He was well respected as an elder in the community. ... This hunter by Naluiyuk is highly successful and evidently very strong a s well; he carries a captured seal strapped to his back, and also a walrus head. Note that the artist has taken the trouble to carve the walrus’s innards on its underside; this touch, which is usually reserved for the undersides of women’s skirts, is a trademark of vintage Salluit carving.--- CATEGORIES: Inuit, Eskimo
