A striking sculpture by Samuel Nahaulaituq. Resoundingly simple in form yet strikingly enigmatic, the face peering toward the sky, contemplative, curious. A piece both primitive and inherently sophistocated.
Samuel Nahaulaituq (1923-1999) TALOYOAK (SPENCE BAY). Signed in syllabics on the base; ᓇᓴᐅᓚᑐ. Whalebone. Measures 4 3/4" h x 6.5" w x 4.5" d.
