Magnificent Sculpture! 

Uttaq's walrus is absolutely exquisite. 

Toofy's hide is smooth and cool to the touch..

A walrus is a large bulky animal with considerable girth but Toofy is fluid and playful.

His tusks are exquisite.

 This is a sculpture of a real walrus in its natural environment.

I truly admire carvings from distant Northern communities like Gjoa Haven.

These carvings are unique and original, not at all like other Inuit carvings.
