Inuit Carved Figure in Parka

This hand-carved figure, sculpted from whale bone, depicts a person clad in a traditional winter parka. The parka's details are incised with fine linear carvings, including a radiating hood and vertically striated trim at the cuffs and waist. The flattened facial features and flowing form, with arms wrapped in a pinwheel configuration, give the piece a stylized, abstract quality. The surface bears natural weathering, with a visible age crack, enhancing its organic texture.
