拍品描述
Description Native American/First Nations, Inuit, ca. 1000 to 1600 CE. A striking carved walrus tusk figure of a bear, with an elongated body, short, nub-like legs, and a powerful head with delineated ears. Age has given the piece a warm mahogany-colored patina. Animism, the belief that all living and non-living things contain a spirit, has been a major part of Inuit tradition for centuries, and Inuit artists carved many beautiful objects representing the inhabitants of the natural world.
