Eskimo Doll with Baby, Circa 1850

Eskimo / Inuit

Circa 1850 | Wood, Seal fur | Item 1911

It’s rare to find such an early Eskimo doll in such wonderful condition. The adult male is carrying his baby with him on the back with a papoose. The seal fur lines the wood carved at the base as seen in the last photo. The head shows great wear and patina from age and use.
