Lot description - from the online catalogue*


Matee Atangak was married to John Tiktak and the influence on each other's carving is evident when comparing their works. In this thoughtful piece, the child seems to be enjoying himself behind the backs of the more serious looking adults.
Most realised prices include the Buyer's Premium of 18-25%, but not the HST/GST Tax.
