    We have a small stone figurine of an Inuit woman. There is a distinctive signature on the bottom, and we we're hoping someone could help us identify the signature and origin. Thanks!

    I agree with Komokwa. Alaskan and fairly recent.

    Thanks! Any ideas about maker's name, or does it matter?

    It wouldn't hurt to find his name, but with the missing pieces the carving is decorative at best...
