7" Bear Drum Dancer by Louie Makittuq Gjoa Haven *Embracing the Dance* painting “Loon” is the perfect subject&Inuit art: Bear Drum Dancer Inuit Artist: Louie Makittuq Size: 6. 5" high, 3" wide, 3" deep Community: Gjoa Haven, NU 21 Stone: Serpentinite & Caribou antler id: c 172 I love the simplicity and innocence of this Louie Makittuq carving.
