Description

Woman’s seal skin parka (amauti) made of several pieces of fur sewn together with sinew, fur to the outside. A large pouched hood hangs down the back of the parka. A small flap hangs down from the front of the garment, with a larger one at back. Both are edged with a fine hide and fur fringe. The fur is sewn to create decoration such as brown stripes around the arms, across the shoulders at back, and stripes on bottom of the front and back flaps.
