The figure holds a long bowl

is a wonderful blend of haute and homespun

including the suitor

and with silver-toned metal pulls at the center of each drawer

Soapstone Lidded Box with Ice Fishing Figure agate and gold storing jewelryThe lid of this charming soapstone trinket box, signed Siku, features a figure ice fishing. His or her parka and boots, and the ice below, are rendered in brown polished stone, while the details of hood, cuffs and fishing line are etched into exposed grey stone. I like the connection between the figure mining for fish hidden below the surface of the ice and the box itself as a place where treasures are concealed and kept safe. 3 1 8" diameter x 2
