<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sean Allen, post: 206001, member: 3873&quot;]I think it is &#039;possibly&#039; a representation of the Inuit legend &#039; The Gift of the Loon&#039; although the larger figure has not a beak (which really is not important as the face that is carved is reflecting the inner Spirit of the animal), you can see from the back and front of it that it has the speckled effect of the feathers of the Loon and from the front the boy is knelling on what looks to be the tail. That is my &#039;guess&#039; but here is a link to the story but it is a lovely piece.&nbsp; <a href="http://www.uexpress.com/tell-me-a-story/2010/8/22/the-gift-of-the-loon-an" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.uexpress.com/tell-me-a-story/2010/8/22/the-gift-of-the-loon-an" rel="nofollow">http://www.uexpress.com/tell-me-a-story/2010/8/22/the-gift-of-the-loon-an</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
