Magnificent Inuit Life Vignette!

The scenes of daily Inuit life give us a glimpse into the habits and circumstances of both the traditional and modern Inuit.

Also, the intricacy of these works are fascinating.  

Most people are drawn toward small objects of art.

Human psychology suggests that these small pieces transport us back to our innocent juvenile years.

When I first saw Hooked, I spent several minutes examining all the exquisite and numerous details.  

I was mesmerized!

I especially like the vignettes that show you into hidden places such as the underwater scene under the ice.

Henry's Hooked is a sweet yet intriguing piece of Inuit art.
