2 Inuit Tools
#158004

Two very old Inuit tools. The first with a wooden handle, sinew wrapping, and terminating in a curved bone wand. This tool was used for brushing snow off of clothes and body. Old patination, collection number. Entirely intact, wand loose in the handle. The second a thick curved bone handle, possibly originally part of a sled, affixed to a piece of reshaped and sharpened trade steel reading "Hard Bros Prussia". This tool would likely have been held in hand towards blade, and used for skinning hides. Old collection numbers. Thick patina. Both rare.
