Another Wonderful Inuit Caribou Antler bird christian martyrdom the moon and seven stars

the moon and seven stars represent the never failing order of the universe and all of nature

The pencil drawn face on the tiny figure just kills me

Another Wonderful Inuit Caribou Antler bird christian martyrdom the moon and seven starsTheres a dealer in New Hampshire I visit who has been putting these Inuit carved antler birds out one at a time for me to find, and this is the last of them. I love how these are all about the natural curves of the antler bone, Caribou I believe, with minimal interventions to render them as birds. I find this one a great combination of elegant and awkward, with its long neck, inked eyes and hooked beak reminding me very much of a root head decoy,
