This stunning and exceptionally large female figur

This stunning and exceptionally large female figure from the Okvik culture is one of our best pieces sold in 2021!

This hieratic figure in fossilized ivory constitutes an extremely rare, archetypal example of archaic Eskimo art. This kind of figure was used during ceremonies linked to fertility as well as for ensuring successful hunting expeditions. Indeed, these sculptures constituted a privileged channel for communicating with the invisible world of the spirits.

The treatment of the face clearly inspired the work of certain 20th century artists, such as Amedeo Modigliani or Constantin Brancusi.
