Inuit Soapstone Carving, Presumed A Very Sweet Dog

Regular price $70.00

To my knowledge this seems a fairly unusual Inuit carving, looking to me like a domestic dog (though definitely with some seal-like attributes, too!) I assume the band around the neck is a collar, with sock-like front paws to match, and then this super sweet face, gentle looking face, with small ears and head turned toward one side in what feels like a gesture of curiosity as well, perhaps, as an eagerness to be pet! Very charming.

3 5/8" l x 2 1/16" w x 2" t and good all the way around. Some surface dings and scratches here and there which in this case I think make this all the sweeter; overall good condition, with vintage sticker on the bottom verifying its authenticity.
