The inlayed eyes reflect drama and mystery. The creature carries the second head like a shield, using it to intimidate evil spirits and hungry animals alike. Kekneck often carves deep

This loon is an exquisite beauty with its embroidered feathers and its atomic proportions

It is what illuminates the piece to another level

because it's harder for Inuit artists to acquire white marble

it would be Pits Qimirpik who would have imagined this piece
