Eskimo (Inuit) Steatite Man with Seal Sculptures are traditional soapstone carvings from Inuit artists, primarily in Canada (Nunavut, Nunavik, etc.). "Eskimo" is an older term; most people now use "Inuit."These carvings typically depict a hunter (man in parka) carrying, dragging, or interacting with a seal — a vital animal in Inuit culture for food, oil, clothing, and tools. They represent themes of survival, hunting, and the deep connection to the Arctic environment.
