9” Black Loon with Inlay Eyes by Jimmy IqaluqInuit art: Loon with Inlay Eyes Inuit Artist: Jimmy Iqaluq Size: 8 long, 3 high, 2. 5" wide Community: Sanikiluaq, NU Stone: Argillite id: d abj87981 The Belcher Islands, home to the community of Sanikiluaq, have very large resident and migratory bird populations, so it is no surprise that birds are among the most popular subjects for local carvers. It is difficult not to be aroused by the sheer beauty of this sculpture. Not only is this loon carved

Her bosom is resplendent and her hips wide and firm

Like all of Lew's carvings

This piece is a beautiful depiction of a hunting scene with a Polar bear who has been successful in killing and devouring a seal

Lew Phillip was born in Iqaluit
