On offer is a highly intriguing and decorative artist-signed carved bust, featuring a rugged, characterful figure adorned with a hat, mounted on a solid plinth with an enamel plaque that reads “Polarsirkelen Norge”. The plaque also bears the date 1937, making this a fascinating piece with possible links to Arctic expeditions of the period.

The bust measures approximately 13.5 inches (34 cm) tall, and showcases exceptional hand-carved craftsmanship. The details of the figure’s weathered face, strong features, and textured clothing suggest a representation of an Arctic explorer or indigenous figure, perfectly capturing the harsh environment and resilient spirit associated with polar expeditions.

The enamel plaque references the Arctic Circle (Polarsirkelen) in Norway, which was a key point of interest for many expeditions during the early 20th century. While we cannot confirm a direct connection to specific expeditions such as the 1937 MacGregor Arctic Expedition, the date and iconography strongly evoke the period’s exploratory endeavors.

Condition is good vintage, with minor wear commensurate with age, and the carving remains well-preserved and display-ready.
