<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 10326778, member: 10944"]Was hoping our Inuit specialists might be able to help ID the marks on this one. I purchased a good size collection a few years ago off a social media marketplace. Luckily I was looking at Inuit items at an opportune time. The lady collecting had lived in several villages for stretches and collected many carvings straight from the carvers themselves I am told. Her daughter was selling off most of the collection after she passed. I made an offer on everything remaining and she accepted. Unfortunately a serious collector had picked what they wanted already but I’m not sure they saw everything. Anyways this is one I have photos of. Not sure if it was originally one sled/team or meant to be two. I’m thinking two. I think a lot of the leather likely broke in packing, shipping, and unpacking. The forms are a bit rough but the overall presentation is great looking imo. The larger sled is 7.5” long.
