<p>[QUOTE="Mark London, post: 11770688, member: 346"]Sadly, bad penmanship exists in Inuktitut as well as in English. Neither signature is easy to read. The seal is from Sanikiluaq (formerly known as Belcher Islands) and the given name seems to read SiAJa (Sarah). There are a number of Sarahs from Sanikiluaq but the most likely candidate would be Sarah Ippak (1916-D). The walrus is from Inukjuak (formerly known as Port Harrison) and the given name is hard to transcribe but the family name reads IKaLu (Echalook). I’m not sure how the eBay seller came up with Daniel Apawkok but that piece is rather clearly signed Sarah Michiyuk.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
