DESTINY is an important Museum Quality sculpture by first generation Master carver Samwillie Niviaxie.
Carved in 1993, this piece will resonate with serious Inuit art collectors.
The piece is signed in syllabics.
The scene is poignant and emotional.
A Hunter with his Kill.
We assume the seal is lifeless.
Is it possible that the Inuk is hugging the animal as it takes its last breath?
Thanking the seal for giving up its life so he may live?
