Here is another extraordinary muskox horn sculpture.
Muskox horn is exotic.
Muskox horn is sensual. Smooth and silky.
Ookpik has used the entire half of a muskox headpiece (one of the horns) to sculpt this serene and graceful crane.
This is a large gorgeous bird.
I have only seen these large horn carvings from Gjoa Haven.
The magic of this carving is that the features of the horn ( its curves and angles, the pastel pink hues and the scattered black areas) exactly conform into the shape and details of a crane!
As if it were meant to be.
Our Crane is regal.
Ookpik's innovative spirit shines through in this eclectic carving.
