We've been offering exceptional examples
of Native American and First Nation sculpture and carvings for over twenty-five
years, and during that time have also amassed a nice selection of pieces that
are complimentary to those styles. This page is a home for those unique pieces -
some are from unidentified artists; some are created by non-native folks working
in remote regions; some we just think are really cool. All the hard info is here, but we can often add more if you
contact us.

Wow! This piece was created in the mid 1990's and
unfortunately the creator's name has been lost. The piece shows a human
figure riding on the back of a deer.
This is a very unique assembly of deer antler; fossilized whalebone (a
vertebrae that is used as the base); jawbones; antler root (likely Moose
or Caribou - the face is carved into it); and also includes to different
types of fur. It is held together with the ingenious use of brass pins
and screws. |
