Vintage Inuit Life Art Plaque

ORIGINAL DESIGN BY KARL ROTHAMMER
This work of art is a hand finished reproduction of an original carving by one of North America's finest wood sculptors, Karl Rothammer. Mr. Rothammer, born and trained in Bavaria, initially concentrated carving religious masterpieces which are on display in churches in various parts of the world. After immigrating to Canada in 1951, he quickly became inspired by the natural beauty of North American wildlife and its people, and began creating works encompassing this theme.

A man of Intense personality, the artist is spiritually involved while conceiving his works which are exceptional in their degree of detail. Using only the highest quality walnut woods for his masterpiece, Mr. Rothammer selects the grain pattern that will best enhance the sculpture. The earnestness and craftsmanship of the artist and his creations are truly unique.
