Vintage Original Wolf Sculpture, Eskimo and Dog. Eskimo and dog. Measures 5 1/2" in height. Very good condition.
This 5 1/2-inch vintage sculpture is a classic "Wolf Original," a line of collectible art pieces that have celebrated Canadian Northern life for decades. The piece features an Inuit figure in a traditional heavy parka standing next to a sturdy sled dog, both rendered in the signature dark, hand-finished stone-look material that the Wolf Sculptures company is known for. While often referred to as soapstone, these mid-century originals were typically crafted in Canada using a unique casting process involving a resin and stone compound to achieve their substantial weight and intricate, hand-carved appearance. The figures are characterized by their expressive faces and the detailed textures of the fur and fabric, making this a quintessential piece of Canadian folk art. This sculpture is a meaningful addition to any collection of indigenous-themed art or a rustic library shelf, offering a glimpse into the rich history of Canadian Aboriginal culture.
This item is vintage, over 40 years old. While it appears to be in very good condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
