Another Wonderful Inuit Caribou Antler bird woman with dagger by Isaaac WattsTheres a dealer in New Hampshire I visit who has been putting these Inuit carved antler birds out one at a time for me to find, and this is the last of them. I love how these are all about the natural curves of the antler bone, Caribou I believe, with minimal interventions to render them as birds. I find this one a great combination of elegant and awkward, with its long neck, inked eyes and hooked beak reminding me very much of a root head decoy,
