Canadian Inuit Soapstone Carving of Kneeling Man southwest jewelry He was predominantly active fromThe carving depicts a man, kneeling, wearing a parka, and holding something between his outstretched hands. He has a questioning look on his face almost as if he wants to offer you the object in his hands if you want it. There is nothing angry or threatening in his face or stance. A very pleasing carving.
