Impressive ethnic sculpture, representing a family, sculpted in soap stone. It is a group of three people, an adult man and woman, and a child. The man is sitting and has the child sitting on his knees. At the same time the woman who is standing seems to be carrying the child on her back. But the most emotional thing about this sculpture is a small detail, the tenderness in which the woman holds the child's hand. I don't know if it is a marriage with a child or three generations: grandfather, mother and son. Another detail is the drawing carved into each of the figures, which seems to represent a fish, so it could be a family of fishermen. I have tried to discover the origin of this sculpture and I have looked for similarities with the art of south america, the inuit, the far east... And I have not found any strong enough answer. The sculpture is in very good condition, it weighs almost 800 g and is 11 cm wide, 5 cm deep and 12 cm high.
