Lot 181: TUDLIK (1890-1966), E7-1050, Cape Dorset OWL,

TUDLIK (1890-1966), E7-1050, Cape Dorset OWL, stone, 3.5" x 2.75" x 1.75" - 8.9 x 7 x 4.4 cm.

Note: Excerpt from collector's memoirs: When I first started working in Cape Dorset, I was attracted to carvings of owls….not any owls, but those carved by Tudlik which, even though very basic and simple had a unique personality of their own. I sought Tudlik out each time I was there and over time managed to collect three of his unique owl carvings. Later, Tudlik went on to make stone cut prints of which I also collected.
