over with a thin coat of red ocher, and the legs and feet have a coat of 
black lead over this. The hair also is marked out with black lead, and a 
small opaque white bead is fastened with a peg to the middle of the 
breast. This image was made for the market. 
No. 56495¢ [203], from Utkiaywin, is of a pair of very rude images, 
also made solely for the market. Each is 8 inches long, and is merely 
an oblong piece of 
board, flat and rough 
on the back, roughly 
beveled from the 
middle to each side 
in front. One end is 
surmounted by a 
rather rudely carved 
human head, with the 
features in relief and 
the eyes and mouth 
incised. The eye- 
brows are marked out 
with black lead, and 
there is a longitudinal 
line of black lead down 
the middle of the 
front. 
Fig. 389 (No. 89724 
Fia. 389.—Carving, face of Eskimo man. {1123} from Nuwik) is 
the face of a male Eskimo, 3-2 inches long, carved out of a flat piece 
of some coniferous wood weathered to a dark, reddish brown. The 
labrets are represented by two small, red glass beads with white cen- 
ters, fastened on in the proper position with 
wooden pegs. There is a deep groove around the 
edge of the face into which is fastened a strip 
of yellowish wolfskin with long fur to represent 
the trimming around the hood of the jacket. This 
specimen was made for sale, and the carving is 
well executed. It is a characteristic Eskimo 
face, and would pass for a portrait of Apaidyao, 
a well known young Eskimo, who was employed 
by Lieut. Ray as a guide and hunter. 
We collected only two soap-stone carvings 
representing men, both of which were newly 
made. One of these, Fig. 390 (No. 89569 {1095 + 
from Nuwittk), is a grotesque image 2-9 inches F1¢.390.—Grotesque soapstone 
long, roughly carved from a flat piece of an old ™8% “Walrus man” 
lamp or pot. This is almost exactly the form in which the Eskimo, 
especially the children, usually draw a man. The writer’s portrait
