Inuit Mother and Child (Papoose) — Patinated Bronze with Stone Inlay Sculpture
$595
Fine Art · Late 20th Century, circa 1980–2000
A finely modeled patinated bronze sculpture depicting a seated Inuit woman in a traditional parka, carrying a smiling infant in her hood (amauti style). The parka is rendered in a distinctive crushed stone or mineral inlay technique — likely crushed coral, turquoise, or similar material — creating a textured, pale blue-grey surface that contrasts elegantly with the warm golden-brown bronze of the figures' skin and dark patinated hair. The sculpture rests on a two-tiered carved rosewood or padauk hardwood base, characteristic of late 20th-century Western American studio bronze presentation.
