Lot Report

Literature:

The Inuit Print, National Museum of Man (Ottawa, ON), 1977, exh. cat., p. 203, pl. 116

Note:

“The figures are shown within a shape representing a snow house with entrance tunnel. The meaning of this image is ambiguous. Although the English explanation along the bottom of the prints reads, ‘If we kill the leader with the fleshless legs, they will leave us and not eat our people’, the syllabic inscription above the image indicates that a game not unlike dodge-ball is being played.”
