Stonecut and stencil print of a woman with a sealskin tent. The tent is partially assembled with one pole secured and the roof hung overtop. Roof consists of dark yellow and black sealskins stitched together. The woman is standing to the right of the tent, attaching the poles. She has braided black hair and is wearing a white parka, light grey pants and large boots. The parka is long-tailed, with black trim along the hood, and is outlined in dark yellow ink. There are black rocks across the base of the tent. Along the bottom edge of the print the title, technique, edition number, place made, date and artist signature are written in pencil. Signatures, in syllabics, with Cape Dorset Co-operative symbol stamped in top right corner. Canadian Eskimo Arts Council blind-embossed stamp in bottom right corner.
The carvings in this donation (3495/1-9) were mostly collected by Kathi McKay, who was a teacher on Baffin Island in the 1970s. She later lived in Yellowknife.
