This is the pink carving that was visible behind yesterday's bear. The pink one features a narwhal with its huge horn and another creature which may have something to do with Inuit stories but I really don't know. I like the little grey seal in the foreground.

Hello,
I had to google Narwhal, that horn is amazing. I like the cute seal too. Take care, enjoy your day! Have a happy new week!
Pat of all the things you post to your blog, I believe you would make a excellent tour guide for the city. :-)
...I;m use to see mermaids in Maui.
The mermaid and the narwhale I like it Pat ✨
These are beautifully carved. Narwhals are fascinating creatures, aren't they?
Cute little seal!
Beautifully carved! It looks magnificent.
I am impressed by these stone sculptures. Sea life is always fascinating.
These sculptures are really stunning. Thanks for showing them to us.
I like these a lot.
So I looked it up:
"According to myths collected among the Inuit in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the narwhal was once a woman with long hair that she had twisted and plaited to resemble a tusk. When the woman’s blind son lashed her to a white whale, she was drowned, but transformed into a narwhal. The son felt some remorse that he had killed his mother, but he also believed that the matricide was justifiable because of her deceitfulness and cruelty." -- Smithsonian
Nice work.
That is fascinating!
