Figure Item Number: 2912/26 from the MOA: University of British Columbia
Small carving of a sled dog, with a hide harness. The animal stands with head low and tail extended straight, in a wide stance. The head is squared, with delicately carved ears and painted eyes and mouth. The harness surrounds the dog’s shoulders and neck and trails down the back toward the tail.
Percy F. Broughton is thought to have collected this artifact while he served as a missionary with the Church Missionary Society, in Lake Harbour on Baffin Island, from 1911-1912.
