content: Soapstone carving, made by Paseepe Apa, of Kangirsuk. It was made around 1970, and purchased from the Canadian Handicrafts Guild in Toronto by Annette Barrash. Stephen Loring, NMNH anthropologist in the Arctic Studies Center, says this is probably not a seal (as it was labeled by the donor), but rather a walrus rummaging for clams in the mud at the bottom of the sea.
