This is a sculpture of an Inuk in a kayak with a full satchel sitting on the front end of the kayak ahead of the Inuk. The sculpture is made of a smooth, dark grey stone, and is adorned with thin strips of hide at the front, middle, and back of the kayak. There is a small wooden double-sided oar that goes through and under the arms of the Inuk. There are two other smaller pieces of wood as well, one that is hollow with a hole going through the middle, and the other is thinner and not hollow.
