Description: Large Signed Axangayuk Shaa (1937-2019 ~ Kinngait, Cape Dorset, NU) Carved Stone Sculpture.Artwork depicts a playful native Inuit women with long braids. This piece is an impressive size measuring roughly 38" tall alone, 21" wide, and 6" deep. When weighed on the scale it comes in just under 147lbs (see last photo) in weight. The sculpture does come with a wooden stand, but please note that the stand has seen better days. The stand is still currently completely functional, you just need to be careful when using it now. With the weight of this piece, you may want to eventually consider reinforcing this existing stand, or having a new one created. The stand adds an extra 2" in height. The artwork appears to be in pretty nice vintage condition throughout. I did not see any large breaks, cracks, chips, gouges, etc... There might be a slight chance for very minor wear to be found, most likely in the way of a light scuff here and there. This piece was displayed in a covered outdoors area of a home when I originally found & bought it. Therefore a very small amount of extra cleaning might possibly be needed in a spot or two. Nothing offensive whatsoever. The first photo is was taken right after I hosed and wiped the stone down. The rest of the photos were taken after the artwork had dried. The chair in the photos is for scale and is no longer available for sale. My apologies for any of the outdoor lighting glares or shadows that may show up in the photos.

By bidding/winning an auction, or purchasing a piece BIN, you are committing to buying and accepting this piece as is!! Please do no ruin auctions for others, or take away other potential buyers chances to buy a piece they may want. It's a giant waste of time for everyone involved. So please make sure you are serious when bidding!! Can you go back to your local auction house and return pieces for a full refund after bidding everyone else out, winning, paying, and taking the piece home?? Or can you go into your local antique store and demand a full refund after holding onto or using a piece for 30 days?? The same normal everyday rational rules of human engagement apply here!! Treasure hunting for you is how I pay the bills. It takes quite a bit of time to sell each piece from beginning to end; Searching for, procuring it, cleaning it up, researching, photography, all the middle parts you see when you are on eBay looking, then high quality thoughtful packing, shipping, etc. I am running a very small honest business, not an Amazon or Walmart. Most of my pieces are vintage or antique, and sometimes have the possibility of showing a little bit of character. I will always do my very best to disclose everything to my full ability. Ask me anything you want!! I am easy to work with and here for you!!
