This bag for storing clothing was made from an entire ribbon seal, including the flippers. The seal was skinned from the inside using a small ulu knife. The opening on its chest laces up with a leather thong. Clothing bags were kept outside in the cold on the family's elevated storage rack where they would be safe from dogs.
