Given the unregulated nature of the art market, it is crucial to stay vigilant and always seek stringent provenance.
In the past, we believe we have identified a number of allegedly fake paintings in Floyd Kuptana's style being sold as original works by him.
Our objective is to promote public awareness of Floyd Kuptana artworks while preventing the propagation of art fraud. As such, when we believe artworks purporting to be by Floyd Kuptana are not genuine or do not have secure provenance, if provenance cannot be verified, or if questions we raise cannot be resolved, such artworks will NOT be posted on this site or our affiliated social media....

Dimensions: H: 15" W: 13" D: 4"
Materials: Stone, bone/antler, wood,
The shaman is holding a Canadian Flag. It is kneeling, and has 2 heads, 2 noses, but 3 mouths(!), and just 2 eyes, but wide and open.
We see the teeth in 2 mouths, bone plugs, tattoo pins on the cheek, markings under one eye, and again an -for me- unknown type of pad or clothing on the back of the neck.
What sticks out is also a tattoo marking with three pins/dots with a red circle on one cheek.
The contrast between the friendly smiling face with the almost devoted folded hands holding the Canadian flag grows bigger wheh you see the 5th image.
What do you read in that??
This piece was listed in the Museum of Inuit Art Selected Pieces, Vol. 1 which is still available as free ebook at https://nl.blurb.com/.../2577352-the-museum-of-inuit-art...

This fantastic carving was created by sought-after Inuit artist Floyd Kuptana. Kuptana was born in Cape Parry, NWT. This wonderful piece is a stunning example of a transformation piece. Inuit mythology is extremely important to their culture and is often portrayed in their artwork. Floyd often carves transformation pieces. The play between physical and spiritual is something he manages to capture in his work. This is a phenomenal piece of art
