Hooded coat (kalerak, or anorak) made of strips of scraped intestine. The body of the coat is made of vertical strips that extend into the hood. The arms are made of vertically sewn strips (vertical when arms are spread). The rim of the hood is lined with a cotton casing through which a thread is strung. The strips are sewn together with a dark blue cotton thread, thus accentuating the seams. A patch of intestine has been sewn onto the coat below the right arm. The bottom and the sleeves are trimmed with narrow strips of seal skin.
