Eskimo (Inuit/Yupik) wooden bowls are traditional handmade items from Indigenous Arctic peoples, primarily in Alaska (Yupik or Inupiat) and sometimes Canadian Inuit regions. These bowls were often carved from a single piece of local wood (like driftwood or spruce), used for practical purposes such as serving food, holding seal oil, or ceremonial feasts. They reflect utilitarian design with occasional decorative elements.
