Late 20th Century Inuit Green Serpentine Bird Sculpture - An Inuit bird sculpture carved from mottled green serpentine stone. The piece is a stylized, rotund figure of a bird, likely a penguin or ptarmigan, rendered with a minimalist aesthetic. It is carved from a single block of stone featuring varied shades of green and yellow inclusions, finished with a smooth, matte surface. The flat-cut base features incised Inuit syllabics consisting of a triangle shape, followed by a second triangle shape and a C-shaped character. Below these marks is a simplified humanoid figure. The eyes are indicated by small circular incisions, and no other labels or signatures are present.
