Crossroads of Continents catalogue identifies: "Bering Sea Eskimo. Concepts of transformation and masking, so pervasive in Bering Sea Eskimo belief, were illustrated on women's jewelry. A ... seal-person transformation appears on an earring. Belief in the mutability of the physical and the spiritual, of multiple worlds and realities in constant transformation, was the basis for highly creative Bering Sea Eskimo art."
