Two Canadian Vintage Inuit Soapstone Carvings
Lot Details & Additional Photographs
20th century, the first of a standing man wearing a parka, the underside of one foot incised "E. J. 1720" (5.25 in. HOA); the second of a reclining seal, its underside incised with two lines of letters, perhaps a phonetic Inuit signature, preceding the number "4079" (4.75 in. LOA).

The Collection of James & Elizabeth McLachlin, Chapel Hill, NC

No apparent condition concerns with the human figure; the seal has sustained repairs to one flipper and the base.
