Inuit Art
Sculptures.com
is an exclusively online retail Inuit art gallery dedicated
to bringing all inuit art
lovers a wide variety of inuit / eskimo
art sculptures that have been hand sculpted by Inuit artists.
We
have no storefront and are thus able to offer this beautiful art
at 20% to 35% off gallery prices.
Most of our sculptures
come from Cape Dorset, which is located on Baffin Island in Canada's
high
arctic. We occasionnally have carvings from Iqaluit, Pangnirtung,
Sanikiluak and Pond Inlet.
The majority of sculptures
on our site are hand carved out of serpentine (a stone which is
harder than soapstone) found on the southern part of Baffin Island.
We occasionnally have pieces carved out of
marble, argillite,
steatite or caribou antler.
Our online selection is unique because it includes pieces by well
known Inuit carvers such as Nuna Parr,
as well as young, up and
coming Inuit artists.
Our gallery
presently has dancing bears, walking bears, walruses, whales,
seals, narwhales, birds,
inukshuiit, spirits, people (hunters,
women) as well as other arctic animals such as caribou, wolf and
muskox. We also carry mother and child, sedna and etching sculptures.
