THIS IS A LOON WITH FEET BY WORLD FAMOUS JIMMY IQALUQ. THIS LOON, LIKE MANY OF HIS OTHERS IS OF MUSEUM QUALITY. ONE OF JIMMY'S LOON'S IS BEING HELD AT CANADA'S NATIONAL ART COLLECTION IN OTTAWA . THIS IS HOW EXQUISITE HIS PIECES ARE. A LOON LIKE THIS IS WORTH 3 - 4 TIMES MORE IN A ART GALLERY. AN IMMEDIATE INVESTMENT FOR YOU. THIS LOON WAS NEW, PURCHASED DIRECTLY FROM JIMMY'S HANDS IN SANIKILUAQ (NUNAVUT, CANADA). JIMMY'S LOON'S ARE THE FINEST IN THE WORLD AND ARE ACCLAIMED INTERNATIONALLY. This fine Loon is quite big as she measures 9 inches long (from back of feet to tip of the beak) by 3.5 inches tall. I am fortunate enough to have a personal relationship with Jimmy himself. His claim to the international art community are his loons. The proportions of this Loon are without a doubt PERFECT . Smooth contours and a graceful presence are harmonious features which amazes collectors towards Jimmy Iqaluq's works. THIS CARVING HAS NO DEFECTS OR INCLINATION AND IS IN PERFECT CONDITION. It is Loon. A national bird of Canada which can be seen on our famous one dollar coin.
