<p>[QUOTE="aaroncab, post: 1416121, member: 3974"]This stone carving is 5.5" long, and 4" high. Appears almost black but in very bright light it is actually dark green (I think serpentine). I'm including a pic under a bright light to see the color. I'm assuming hopefully correctly that this is an Inuit carving. My question is what is depicted here... a mermaid type figure? Or just a woman/girl wrestling/holding a fish?</p><p><br /></p><p>Found in a thrift store so where it came from before then is anyone's guess.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks as always for taking a look!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]223413[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]223414[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]223415[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]223416[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]223417[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]223418[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]223419[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]223420[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]223421[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
