[QUOTE="quirkygirl, post: 280081, member: 106"]Hello! Today I ran into these two carvings that looked different from those 'Boma' or 'Wolf Originals' that I see every so often (and pass right on by) ... these actually appear to be carved from real stone. Please correct me if not :) I'm happy to learn from my mistakes. Looks like a person and a ???? bird? (I'm going to refer to it as a bird for now) About 3" and 2½" tall (7.5 cm and 6 cm) The bird has a name and number scratched into its base. I see JOAN?E? 2160?? plus what I think is the igloo symbol (or a copyright symbol) Am I correct that these are Inuit carvings? Does anyone see anything else ... other than what I see? The person figure may also have something scratched into the base, but the felt is hiding what it is. Should I try to remove the felt? If so, how to do this without staining or scratching the stone? Thanks for looking!
