    Up for bids is an estate fresh soapstone carving by Inupiaq artist Joe Senungetuk (Engasongwok, b. 1940).
    Joseph Senungetuk was born in Wales, Alaska, and attended the University of Alaska - Fairbanks (1959-61), then the San Francisco Arts Institute, where he obtained his BFA degree (1970).  He has worked for a publishing house, taught art, a writer for the Anchorage Daily News, and as an administrator at the University of Alaska in Fairbanks.  He has written a book, "Give or Take a Century: an Eskimo Chronicle," as well. The British Museum even has a write-up on him.
    The piece measures 6 3/8 inches high.  It is signed on the side of the base as pictured, and is dated 1985.  Has some scattered tiny scuffs and nicks concomitant with its age, but no big chips or any cracks. Very expressive face! Weighs 2 pounds 1 ounce!
