Sugpiaq men ate from round and animal-shaped dishes. This bowl represents a swimming seal, its head and tail just above the ocean surface. Ripples from its motion encircle the rim and spread out from the red-painted central hole, which may depict the swirl of water left by a diving seal. In Sugpiaq and Yup'ik art, circles represent passageways between levels of the multi-layered cosmos, and between upper and lower levels of the sky and sea. White trade beads accent the design.This object is on loan to the Anchorage Museum at Rasmuson Center, from 2010 through 2027.Object appears to be the one published as Fig. 30, p. 393 in Boas, Franz, and George Hunt. 1897.
