Museum-Quality 3-Piece Inuvialuit Sealskin Collection – Matching Set (Pristine)

For sale is an extraordinary, museum-quality 3-piece estate collection of authentic traditional Western Canadian Arctic material culture. This highly cohesive suite consists of one shoulder bag and two matched pairs of high-calf Kamik (mukluk).

All design indicators—including the specific matching ringed seal pelt harvests, the identical golden-ochre rawhide backings, and the matching red accent yarns—confirm this entire collection was handcrafted by the same master Inuvialuit textile artist from the Mackenzie River Delta region. Every piece is preserved in flawless, pristine vintage condition with absolutely zero shedding, baldness, or brittleness.
