POISED is an elegant Crance fashioned from Muskox horn.
(The muskox horn is ethically derived from found animal skeletons.)
Muskox horn medium is exotic: smooth and silky.
Ookpik has used the entire half of a muskox headpiece (one of the horns) to sculpt this serene and graceful crane.
Poised is a large gorgeous bird who is nesting.
The magic of this carving is that the features of the horn ( its curves and angles, the pastel pink hues and the scattered black areas) exactly conform into the shape and details of a crane!
As if it were meant to be.
Ookpik’s innovative spirit shines through in this eclectic carving.
I have never seen a stone nest with a Crane like this.
