7" Grinning Bear with Fish by Lyta Josephie *Lunchtime*Inuit art: Bear with Fish Inuit Artist: Lyta Josephie Size: 7" long, 4" tall, 3" wide Community: Iqaluit, NU 20 Stone: Serpentine id: b 25467fbey I think that the most powerful feature of this Josephie sculpture is the look of glee and pride on this bear's face! He has caught a large slippery fish.. This is not easy. The bear's eyes are wide and bright. He actually looks like he is smiling with self satisfaction. It is lunchtime! I have had the honour

This is the ultimate in Canadian sculpture

Details proportions are all perfect

rich colour andglowing effects will be admired time and time again

NOTE** I spoke to Manasie and he told me that he is improving the technique he uses to form his carvings’ inlayed eyes

This piece is a beautiful depiction of a hunting scene with a Polar bear who has been successful in killing and devouring a seal

He is an internationally master carver

Her art is also in the WAG and in Canada's National Art Museum
