Vintage Canadian Eskimo Stone Carving Figure/Statue - Embracing
In searching the internet, the closest I could find in resemblance of this unique statue was by the Eskimo's using Eskimo Stone. Which to me looks like Gray Marble but I also don't know much about stones.
I can't quite figure out what it is even. To me it looks like embracing of some sort.
I purchase it at auction here in NW Pennsylvania. The individual that owned it, did have several Eskimo items up for auction. He also was know to travel the world. That's just the bit of history I have on this piece. I have several pieces like this from the same auction that I'm working on listing soon.
Measurements;
4 1/2" H x 3" W x 2 1/2" D
Markings are of a T with and S over it and a 7 with a 3 under it. Which I'm taking as 1973
