Masterpiece Sculpture! Museum quality Carving!

NOTE**  Joamie Ipeelee (1963-2020) passed away unexpectedly.  He was a good friend and superb carver and I will miss him. 

This is a superb Muskox by Joamie Ipeelee from Iqaluit. 

Rock is made from a sophisticated  pale yellow and green serpentine with black flecks.

The stone resembles lichen or the tundra fauna.

Rock's eyes and horns contrast beautifully with his colour.

This muskox is a quiet and regal beast. 

Collectors of Muskox sculptures understand the importance of the back hump.

Many carvers choose to exaggerate the hump.  But Ipeelee moderates the hump which is a refreshing approach to a feature that can occasionally be overdone.

I respect Joamie's work.  He is a thoughtful and skilled artist.
