Description
Rectangular seal skin with image sewn into the main skin using a patchwork technique. Lighter pieces of seal skin are used to create the images of an Inuit hunter with a spear pointed toward a seal under a curve of ice(?), with border designs at each end. The back shows the seams where all the pieces of skin have been sewn together. There are green Holman Island stamps on the back of the skin.
Narrative
The green stamps on the back refer to Holman Island. One is their ulu logo and the other is the Holman Eskimo Co-op stamp.
