All our Inuit sculptures are carved from a single piece of stone, locally sourced from the carvers community, most commonly Serpentine or Argillite. These stones are carvable but are significantly harder than soapstone.
The Dancing Walrus motif represents Harmony with nature, The animal acts like a person, showing we are connected. The Walrus is shown as happy to represent the idea that if the natural world is happy, then people will be happy also.
