<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 9856856, member: 10944"]I love the carving! Creative use of the material! I can’t imagine what the harm would be in taking it off the base to ID it. Ruining an old “Eskimo art” sticker that would help in dating it I guess would be the biggest problem I could see. Breaking the slate potentially would be the other but that would be easily replaced I’d think. I guess there’s a decent chance it wouldn’t add much to the value but surely there are names that would. I don’t have a lot of experience buying Inuit carvings on eBay or other online platforms but I’d think earlier ones would often do a bit better then than newer ones as well. I would be temped to look. In most cases I’m lazy enough that I don’t do much fussin around with objects before sale but this one is easy enough that I’d probably do it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
