Description
This is a sculpture of a sled being pulled by 7 dogs. The sled is made of stone, and looks to have several slats underneath a bedding of hide. There is a lidless stone box attached to the sled on top of the fur. It is attached with strips of hide. Inside the box, there is what appears to be a small carved knife and harpoon. The fur is strapped to the sled with bands on hide holding it down to the stone sled. There are seven stone dog sculptures of varying heights and shapes ahead of the sculpture, attached by long strips of hide to the sled. The dogs look stout and have powerful with curling tails..
