INUIT DOLLS
From a lovely book by Eva Strickler and Anaoyok Allokee.
The below image is from the Canadian Museum of Civilisation. A perfect sealskin and cotton doll made in 1914 in Labrador. She's a true reflection in miniature of the dress of those living in the district from which she came. It's her represented height that strikes me most.
