A couple of interesting vintage Inuit soapstone hotsell carving.

A couple of very interesting, vintage Inuit soapstone carvings.
One of a native seabird probably a hotsell Bufflehead or a Murrelet.
The other of an Eskimo in traditional garb.
The seabird in good condition, Eskimo has lost his hands some time ago in a tragic
accident.
Both very attractive in their naive form. Circa 1950s.
Bird 12 cm, man 10 cm.
