This is an important museum quality sculpture by first generation Master carver Samwillie Niviaxie.

Carved by Niviaxie in 1993, THANKSGIVING will resonate with the serious Inuit art collectors.

The scene is poignant and emotional.  

A hunter with his kill.

But even though we assume the seal is lifeless, could it be possible that the Inuk is hugging the animal as it takes its last breath? 

Thanking the seal for giving up its life so he may live?
