Inuit art refers to artwork produced by Inuit people, that is, the people of the Arctic previously known as Eskimos, a term that is now often considered offensive outside Alaska. Historically their preferred medium was walrus ivory, but since the establishment of southern markets for Inuit art in 1945, prints and figurative works carved in relatively soft stone such as soapstone, serpentinite, or argillite have also become popular. The Winnipeg Art Gallery in Winnipeg, Manitoba claims to have the largest collection of contemporary Inuit art in the world. In 2007, the Museum of Inuit Art opened in Toronto, Ontario.

Community: Link Cape Dorset, Size: inches/cm 11″ x 8″ x 5″, 27.9 cm x 20.3 cm x 12.7 cm
Description: This is a truly interesting piece. It seems as if Kellypalik has taken a typical scrimshaw tusk pattern and made it into a three dimensional entity.

Alternately, it makes a signature statement as a stand alone sculpture on a mantle or on a pillar base. The bleached bone of the caribou antler is nestled into the beautiful, green, an earthly base for the transforming Shaman, wings outspread, soaring above.
