Description
Nunavimmiut doll
Walrus skin, wood, old patina and marks of use
Inuit, Northern Quebec
24 x 7 cm
Inuit dolls helped pass on knowledge about daily life, clothing and customs in the Arctic world. Made from materials sourced from the local environment, they served as both toys and learning aids for children. Nunavimmiut figures, associated with the territory of Nunavik in northern Quebec, bear witness to a material culture that is profoundly adapted to the living conditions of the Far North.
