Amerindian and amber figurines from Canada

Amerindian and amber figurines from Canada are unique souvenirs and collectibles that blend cultural artistry with the natural beauty of Canadian craftsmanship. While Canada is more widely known for its Indigenous art, there is also a growing appreciation for items incorporating amber—a natural resin often used in jewelry, carvings, and sculptures. Here's an overview of both types of figurines you might find in Canada:

1. Amerindian Figurines

In Canada, Indian figurines can refer to both art representing Indigenous Canadian culture (First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples) or figurines inspired by South Asian culture.

2. Amber Figurines

Amber is fossilized tree resin that has been used for centuries in jewelry, ornaments, and art. Canada has some sources of amber, particularly in regions like the Bay of Fundy (Nova Scotia), where natural amber can be found along the coast. Amber figurines, especially those with a natural, translucent amber hue, make for stunning and unique pieces.
