This is an outstanding, authentic, original, Inuit Eskimo Native American Indian wood frame model kayak covered in sealskin with bone hunting spear and implements, dating to circa early 1900's. The piece shows a wood framed, long, narrow kayak with seal skin (sealskin) parfleche rawhide covering. At each end is a tear drop pointed bone knob and along the front and rear bottom edge are bone runners. The top of the kayak shows a bent wood opening with a small seat at the center, along with five eight sinew wrappings holding six bone-carved gorget decorations, a bladder bag (likely for holding fish), a sealskin long lance sheath, and a wood and bone lance fishing spear. The fishing spear shows a long wooden handle with expertly carved lance spear head made of bone and ties with sinew, as well as a similar tear drop shaped pommel pointed end, also carved of bone (like the boat ends). This is the finest example we have offered for sale and is truly a museum quality specimen. The hide is stiff and the sinew strands at the top have some separation; other than that, the piece is well preserved for its age. Eskimo model kayaks of this highly figured craftsmanship are immensely rare with other similar examples sold at auction for $5,000 in Old Barns’ October 2011 sale and $4,250 in Heritage Auctions’ November 2013 sale. Measures overall 18.25" L by 1.75" W by 1.5" H. The spear is 7 5/8" L.
