**Lucassie Ikkidluak SIGNATURE Muskox carving

Masterpiece Sculpture!  Museum quality Carving!

Note** Lucassie carves only a few Muskox carvings per year. Carving stone causes many chronic health problems so it is not surprising that our senior Carvers carve fewer pieces. These Muskox carvings are immediately recognized as Lucassie's signature piece.



In my opinion, a Lucassie Muskox like Protector of the Herd, is a piece that should be in the collection of every serious Inuit art collector. 

There are many magnificent Inuit Muskox carvings, but Ikkidluak's pieces have a je ne sais quois that is hard to define.

Protector has a magnificent back hump that is particularly dramatic.  

Lucassie's Signature headpiece, detailed facial features, and meticulously detailed coat are all present..

Protector is turning his head to face his foe. 

He is moving his body into a position to protect his herd.

Protector of the Herd could be your once in a lifetime carving.
  
Over the last five years, the market value for these particular Muskoxen have increased by about 30%.

Protector is absolutely an investment piece and one that will be passed down through your family with pride.

This is because of Lucassie's position as one of a few Inuit Master Carvers, the international status of this particular subject and the fact that fewer pieces are being carved.  

You will never regret choosing this stunning Lucassie Muskox.
