Sadly, Noah took his own life away in the summer of 2026.

This rare and beautifully crafted 11" Drum Dancing Bear by Noah Kelly is stunning.

The rich dark stone is kissed by undulating veins of light green which amplify Kelly's ample curves. He drums, and he dances. Drum Dancers are an essential element of Inuit culture.

They sing about Inuit history. and they teach the ways of Inuit life.

In a culture with little written documentation of its history. The songs and dance ARE crucial.

This is a magnificent sculpture that will be adored by collectors and those who love one-of-a-kind bear carvings.
