| This heavy, 9 ½” long black soapstone carving (BB66) depicts a powerful Eskimo hunter atop an ice flow below which lies two wounded seals. Reportedly from the Port Harrison area of Alaska, the highly polished piece is unsigned and in overall very good condition with a small chip on the rear corner of the carving just below the heel of the hunter’s right foot. Two ivory or bone implements (spear, knife, harpoon?) may not be in the location intended by the artist, and both of the pieces are damaged but are not glued in place and can be repositioned and added to if desired. Probably dating into the mid- to later 20th century, the carving is from the estate of the late Billy Branch, a local collector. The hunting scene comes with a small display card and a certificate guaranteeing authenticity.
