MASTERPIECE CARVING - SHARE IN THE LEGEND
Provenance 2026:
Nuna Parr passed away in February 2026.
Nuna carved this rare Running Bear in the mid 2010s using Apple Green stone.
RUNNING BACK has lived with a proud collector for years and is now part of the Steven's estate.
Since Nuna's passing, there are fewer and fewer bears available to the public.
Running Back is one of Nuna's last Bears and he is unique.
Nuna focused on Dancing Bears but his talent extended to Running, Walking and Diving bears.
Finished in an exquisite Apple Green stone from Kimmirut, Running Back is one of Nuna Parr's quintessential Masterpieces.
He is overflowing with energy and personality.
Nuna's Running bears are a bit more reserved than the Dancing bears.
They are happy to meander and lumber along their way.
I am confident that ALL of Nuna's bears will double or triple in value in the years to come.
RUNNING BACK is no exception.
The apple green serpentine stone is opulent and vibrant.
The stone gives the carving majesty and a youthful spirit.
The movement is dynamic and expressive.
The finish is smooth, unblemished and polished to a mirror shine.
Running's size is large and perfectly proportioned.
Inuit art enthusiasts understand the notoriety and pride that comes with owning a Nuna Parr bear.
Pure and simple, Nuna was the best Inuit carver for Bears in the world!
This is not an exaggeration.
Nuna's pieces sell well into the five digit category.
They are investment pieces.
How proud would a company be to have this sculpture in the front foyer or board room?
How happy would you be to love this piece of Canadian history every day in your home or getaway space.
