<p>[QUOTE="Mark London, post: 29052, member: 346"]The piece hails from Northern Canada not Alaska. The sticker, if I am not mistaken, indicates that the piece was originally purchased by the Northwest Company (formerly the Hudson's Bay Company). There are 4 major wholesalers/distributors of Canadian Inuit art, each using their own sticker and numbering system. Depending on community of origin, the stone is either steatite or serpentinite.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
