Up for auction is this superb Eskimo carving of a bird (loon?), its head slightly turned, and with three etched bands around the neck and etched designs on the wings and down the back. T is a slight chip on the beak and chips on the end of the tail feathers (see photos). The color of the striated stone is charcoal and looks to me to be more like argylite than soapstone but Iâe(tm)m certainly no expert. It measures about 9 Â½âe from tip of beak to tip of tail and is 4 Â½âe from base to top of head. It is signed, numbered and bears a Canadian Eskimo Art label.

This is from an estate of several thousand items, including hundreds of pieces of vintage jewelry, Native American artifacts, craftsman era objects, including tiles, as well as many other things of interest. Please continue to check our auctions for more great finds. Better yet, mark us as a favorite.
