    I recently found a cool soapstone carving that I am trying to learn more about. I searched the artists initials and couldn't find anything under DA. I was wondering if anyone could identify this artists name PXL_20230604_194644207.jpg PXL_20230604_194648799.jpg PXL_20230604_194523831.jpg PXL_20230604_194610965.jpg

    It seems to be signed Ohaituk but there are a few artists with that surname. His first name might be hidden under the sticker.

    Probably a little later than mid 1960’s as the earlier pieces would likely still have a disc number inscribed.
