[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 394156, member: 55"]Maybe someone else recalls the exact date for those stickers; they do indicate genuine "Eskimo" art from Canada, and I'm thinking it was 60s-70s. There are three main types of stone used for such carvings; soapstone, serpentine, and a gray sedimentary rock sometimes called slate or argillite (but not the argillite of the Haida). This looks to me to be harder than soapstone, and probably is slate. Others will know more than I, surely.[/QUOTE]
