and also farewells of various sorts

there is a bit of loss to the very top of the chimney

with a bit of graphite visible around some of the cuts in the paper

charcoal drawing and folk art frame I think

Large Inuit Carved Bird with Wonderfully Snaking Neck marching band and also farewells of variousA striking vintage Inuit carving of substantial scale, the latter of which and its presence photos don't well capture. Its the long snake of the neck and shape of the head that really makes if for me, with a whole lot of life in those not quite smooth curves, and the bluntness of the beak, and the placement of the incised concentric circles of the eyes. Of a dark green stone with some veins in it that lend irregularity, all to the good. C. 1970s or
