<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 1425622, member: 10944"]Last of my three posts of local listings I found today are two stone Inuit carvings. One walrus signed by the artist “Kipolhoon Homer Alaska 1982”. There is another piece with the same signature on worthpoint, I just can’t access it. There’s also one mentioned on a collectors site with lots of NA stuff but it seems to not actually be there anymore and just shows up in searches. The two found in searches and the one I found for sale today are all from 1982 I believe. Does anyone know the signature? It’s listed at $50 and has been up for a while so should be able to get it for less if it’s a good one. </p><p><br /></p><p>The other one I found looks quite large relative to the bricks in the photo. This is the only photo available unfortunately. I’ve requested more and I am waiting. It’s just a face in hood carved in white stone. Is this marble? Light colored soap stone? Other? Listed at $100 obo. </p><p><br /></p><p>Do either look like good buys? At about half these prices I would probably take them and figure it out later but may as well get some quick opinions.
