Proud and Soulful Inuit Carved Soapstone Owl dreamcatcher And how beautiful is this

And how beautiful is this mother--beaded leather satchel in one hand and her other arm wrapped protectively around the frame of the papoose--with her head turned toward something or someone outside of the frame and her baby looking

Framed as found: 24” x 18 5/8” and very very good condition with just a bit of very minor rippling along the top edge

sometimes perhaps with nothing at all but it is hard to know now

about it good as it gets--just pure

One hole was drilled through for the eyes and a slit for the beak

Proud and Soulful Inuit Carved Soapstone Owl dreamcatcher And how beautiful is thisI love how proud this Inuit carved soapstone owl seems, especially in profile, with chest puffed out as if standing (or perching) steadfast, not to be moved. Soulful as well as stoic though, as an owl is; quite a nice presence to have in proximity. 4" t x 1 7 8"" w x 1 1 2" d and in very good condition. Unsigned, c. 1970s or so I'd guess.
