 No. 8979G [1118], from Nnwuk. is of rather unusual 



materials. The bottom is of brown 



reindeer skin and the sides and ends 

 are the heads of two wolves and a red 

 iilH I/rtIi fox. The wolf heads meet on one side, 



and the fox head is put in between 

 them on the other. The fox head has 

 no lower jaw, and one wolf head has 

 unlythclelt lialf of the lower jaw. The 

 Nacant spaees around the month are 

 filled by triangnlar gussets of wolf 

 and reindeer skin. The eyeholes are ^^^^ ioo_ron.i.f 



itched on the inside with deerskin. dc-.THkins m the 

 Jt has no handle. No.S!)7!»5 ] i;](i!i], the '""' '"=■ 

 lemaiiiiiig bag, is of the usual pattern, but earelessly 

 made of small pieces of deerskin, with a handle of 

 coarse-grained whale's bone. It was probably made 

 for sale. 



I have figured four handles of such bags to show 

 '^ the style of ornamentation. Fig. 170«. (No. 89420

 traces can still be seen. This is perhaps a hunting score. (vSee remarks 

 on this subject under "Bow drills.") Fig. 170/; (No. 89423 [990], from 

 Utkiavwifi) is a very elal>orate handle, with scalloped edges and fluted 

 back, which is al.so oiiiaiiiented with an incised pattern colored with 

 red ocher. The other side is (•(>\-ered with series of the incised circles, 

 each with a dot in the center, so frefpiently mentioned. Fig. 170e (No. 

 89424 [890], fi-om Nuwuk) has on the under side two rows of figarres 

 representing the flukes and "smalls" of whales. This is the specimen 

 already mentioned, which the natives called an actual score. The series of 

 frn-euty-six tails were said to be the record of old Vuksi'na (" Erksinra" of 

 Dr. Simpson), the so-called "chief" at Nuwuk. All the above handles 

 are of walrus ivory, and have been in actual use. Fig. 170c- (No. 50513
