[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 1498531, member: 301"]it could be a representation of..... The rock [B]ptarmigan[/B] (Lagopus muta) is a medium-sized gamebird in the grouse family. It is known simply as the [B]ptarmigan[/B] in the UK and in Canada, where it is the official bird for the territory of Nunavut, Canada, and the official game bird for the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It's a nice gift piece but finding out whom the artist is (blooey !! ) is as good as you're going to get as he's one of a number of northern artists supplementing his living by carving such items. I always drop in on The Snow Goose when I'm in Ottawa....been doing it for 45 years..[/QUOTE]
