6" Dancing Bear by Tony OqutaqInuit art: Dancing Bear Inuit Artist: Tony Oqutaq Size: 6" high, 3" wide Community: Cape Dorset, NU Stone: Serpentine id: jl 18476dbjy This brilliant dark stone gives this piece prominence and bravado. Oqutaq's love of the animal shines through both in his art and his words. Rather than carving realistic replicas of bears, this artist chooses to capture the animal's essence; its bearlike character. Oqutaqs bears almost always stand or 'dance' on one
