content: Illus. p. 89 in Turner, Lucien M., Scott A. Heyes, and K. M. Helgen. 2014. Mammals of Ungava & Labrador: the 1882-1884 fieldnotes of Lucien M. Turner together with Inuit and Innu knowledge. Identified there as a model of a drying frame, Inuit. "This frame was placed over a lamp for drying wet boots, mittens, and other articles (Turner 1894: 230-231): "The semi-circular bow has cross strands of sinew or sealskin to form a mesh. On this rests the article to be dried. Under this is a support formed of two sharp-pointed pegs which are stuck into the snow forming the side of the hut. The shape of the support is that of a long staple with square corners. In some instances the pegs form only a wide V-shape and the frame for supporting the articles are laid directly on this. A block of wood hollowed out to receive the convex bottom of the frame is sometimes used to support the latter.""
