Finely Carved Inuit Green Serpentine Stone Polar Bear (Henry Evaluardjuk?) art palette but stunningI purchased this one at Rhinebeck from a dealer who found it in an antiques shop in Florida and knew nothing about it. I look at a fair number of Inuit stone carvings, but rarely come across one in this glorious serpentine green stone, which looks like a sort of mottled Jade, and here, polished to a high finish, is just gorgeous. Unsigned, but I have some notion it may be the work of Henry Evaluardjuk (1923 2007), Iqaluit, of Frobisher Bay, Canada
