Amauti style woman's parka. The exterior of the coat is white, with high cut sides and a long back flap. Purple, pink, white and black trim edges the hem and wrists of the outer coat, while similar but darker trim decorates the centre front, with a tassel of yarn hanging from the neck, and lower back. The hood is edged with thick fur and a tassel hangs from the top. The top back of the coat has a pouch for a child. Three beaded tassels hang down the centre of the back flap. The undercoat is made of light quilting fabric in pink with blue hearts on one side and multi-patterned on the other.

Woman’s seal skin parka (amauti) made of several pieces of fur sewn together with sinew, fur to the outside. A large pouched hood hangs down the back of the parka. A small flap hangs down from the front of the garment, with a larger one at back. Both are edged with a fine hide and fur fringe. The fur is sewn to create decoration such as brown stripes around the arms, across the shoulders at back, and stripes on bottom of the front and back flaps.
