About the Item

Mid-Century Scandinavian Wooden Inuit Figure by Arne Tjomsland, Norway, 1950s A rare and charming Scandinavian modern wooden figure designed by Arne Tjomsland, Norway, circa 1950s–1960s. The figure depicts an Inuit hunter holding a spear, accompanied by a small carved seal attached with a cord — a classic and highly recognizable motif from Tjomsland’s production. Crafted from solid wood with beautiful natural patina, the sculpture showcases the designer’s signature combination of warmth, simplicity, and expressive character. Tjomsland’s figures were produced primarily for export and have since become sought-after collector’s pieces, appreciated for their playful yet refined interpretation of Nordic modernism. This example is well-balanced and complete, with original spear and accessory intact.
