And just a marvelous patina accrued over a century and a quarter of so I believe

Lovely Inuit Carved Stone Seal tabletop architecture in captain's hat and suitA very satisfying small Inuit carved soapstone seal, exactly right and not a thing more. I just love the long triangular form of it, tapering gracefully to the tail, and then the charmer of a face poking up at the other end. Very sweet and also quite elegant. 4 1 8 x 1 3 8 t x 1 d and in good condition. No signature or numbers on the underside as far as I can see.
