These miniature models, typically from the late 19th to early 20th century, were crafted by Inuit artisans using wood frames, stretched sealskin, bone, ivory, and sinew. They represent the real qajaq (kayak) used for hunting in Arctic waters and are highly collectible ethnographic artifacts, often appearing in auctions and galleries.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique American Indian Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47324528902309,"sku":"220420-28","price":500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6071\/5685\/files\/220420-28_4.jpg?v=1766527696","url":"https:\/\/antiqueamericanindianart.com\/products\/eskimo-kayak-with-figure","provider":"Antique American Indian Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
