Omschrijving
Shaman Spirit Walrus by Moses Soonagrook, North Bering Sea, Alaska. 17cm
In perfecte staat.
Zeldzaam item Inuït kunst, ca 1990
Walrus shaman (half man/half walrus) is carved out of walrus tusk ivory with a baleen spear.
Moses has carved for many years and is a master carver. He carves from ivory tusks of walrus, walrus bone and whalebone, and trims them with baleen from Bowhead whales. He is the eldest son of the Soonagrook family of carvers. His father William sr., brothers Billy Boy, Virgil and Ladd are well known carvers in Alaska. His son Robert is learning to carve. Their work is featured the Anchorage Museum of History and Art, Airport collection and in many public, private collections and featured in a book titled \"Eskimo Carvers of the Bering Sea\" by Dale Kessler.
Much walrus ivory, walrus bone and whalebone are either dug up or found washed up on beaches after storms. Carving is a rich tradition for the Native Alaskan people on St. Lawrence Island, it helps sustain their proud culture and way of life in a very remote and harsh area.
