[QUOTE="Mark London, post: 4460924, member: 346"]It is not serpentine. Steatite would be a better descriptor. While the signature is rather illegible, the second line of text reads Naujat which is the Inuit name for Repulse Bay. While there are a fair number of "listed" artists from the community one must realize that at some point pretty much everyone tried their hand at sculpture so many artists names are not recorded.[/QUOTE]
