Provenance:

The Balt collection, CA

Between the years of 1964 to 1977 the Balts worked as a nurse and a teacher/Federal Government representative in Ivuyivik, Great Whale River and Rankin Inlet. They acquired carvings directly from the artists.

Note:

This piece was more of a collaboration between John Tiktak and his wife Matee Atangak. It bears Atangak’s syllabics.
