{"product_id":"inuit-stone-goose-sculpture-with-incised-wing-detail","title":"Inuit Stone Goose Sculpture with Incised Wing Detail","description":"\u003cp\u003eHand-carved Inuit stone sculpture depicting a goose in a seated, resting posture, rendered with smooth, rounded contours and restrained naturalism. The form is compact and balanced, with the head slightly raised and the body settled low, conveying a quiet, grounded presence. Fine incised linework across the wings suggests layered feathers, contrasting with the polished stone surface of the body and neck. The stone itself shows natural tonal variation and subtle veining, which the artist has allowed to remain visible, enhancing the organic character of the piece. A carved signature is present on the underside of the base, consistent with Inuit studio and cooperative practices of the period.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nInuit stone carvings gained significant international recognition in the mid-20th century, particularly from the 1950s through the 1970s, as cooperative art programs across Arctic Canada supported Indigenous artists in producing sculpture for southern and global markets. These works often focused on animals central to Inuit life and environment, rendered in simplified, enduring forms that emphasized mass, silhouette, and material honesty. Goose and waterfowl subjects were common, reflecting both subsistence traditions and seasonal cycles, and remain emblematic of Inuit sculptural output from this era.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nGood vintage condition with minor surface wear consistent with age and handling. The stone shows small abrasions and natural inclusions but no cracks or structural issues. The incised details remain clear and well-defined.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n7\" W x 3\" D x 4.5\" H\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMM - C-18502 - 011625\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor information regarding shipping, please visit our Terms \u0026amp; Conditions page \u003ca class=\"GeneratedLink\" href=\"https:\/\/industrialartifacts.net\/pages\/shipping\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Industrial Artifacts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42704508026923,"sku":"C-18502","price":550.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0194\/8170\/files\/b1cdc738-9c2c-5b12-90f6-bc36916e5048.jpg?v=1768606929","url":"https:\/\/industrialartifacts.net\/products\/inuit-stone-goose-sculpture-with-incised-wing-detail","provider":"Industrial Artifacts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
