OWL CAUGHT A HARE


JOE TALIRUNILI (1893-1976), E9-818, POVUNGNITUK
OWL CAUGHT A HARE

stone, c. 1965, signed in Roman with syllabics

6.5" x 8" x 7" — 16.5 x 20.3 x 17.8 cm.

Note:
Joe Talirunili’s sculptures are typically static portraits of people, animals or events. This piece seems to defy this trait, the owl is carved with wings spread mid flight, beak ajar implying an owl’s screech, its claws curled around its prey.

Estimate: $2,500—3,500
