A massive 19th-century Aleut skin-on-frame kayak model, constructed with a wooden internal framework and covered in stretched hide. The long, tapered form features three circular cockpit openings, characteristic of multi-hatch Aleut hunting craft. The surface shows a rich patination from age and handling, and the model remains exceptionally well preserved. Measures an impressive nearly 4' long at 45.5". **This lot is actively in (delayed) transit and will not be available for pickup/shipment until Friday, December 12th.
