The Alaskan Malamute pendant head study celebrates the Arctic conditions these dogs thrive in. Power, drive, interest and curiosity distinguish the Alaskan Malamute’s personality. The name ‘Malamute’ comes from one of the oldest Eskimo tribes, the Mahlemut. These people live a stark life with no excesses and hardly any luxuries. The Alaskan Malamute is Alaska’s state dog which represents this way of life and the amazing endurance of spirit that drives these dogs on.
This beautiful Alaskan Malamute charm takes the shape of the broad, proud head, mouth slightly open as if trying to catch a bit of air. The piece represents the potential energy within each and every sled dog. The expression is soft and affectionate, the eyes gaze forward with interest, seemingly looking out over the frozen tundra. In the center of the sled dog’s powerful neck a symmetrical snowflake rests, but unlike our hearts for these dogs, this snowflake won’t melt.
