Per John Cloud, man with pointed hat depicted being pulled on reindeer sled on this cribbage board is a Sami/Saami man, which would date this object to 1894 or later, when Sami people were first brought to Alaska to help care for, and instruct local people on care of, introduced Siberian domesticated reindeer. The pointed hat appears to be a "Four Winds" hat, a traditional Sami man's hat, topped by a large four-cornered/peaked star.
