LOAN RETURNED: JAN 21 1993." Crossroads of Continents catalogue caption identifies: "Bering Sea Eskimo men decorated the inside lids of their workboxes with illustrations and pictographic designs relating to hunting magic, travel, sex, and ecnounters with Europeans (cf. Fitzhugh and Kaplan 1982: 172-77). Occasionally these designs took on a more formal aspect, as in this stylized illustration of a whiskered and masked predator spirit with a pierced ("passage") belly and flipperlike extremities."
