A signed and numbered 1/6 Artist Proof silkscreen by Alaska artist Rie Muñoz entitled "Hunting with a Bola". The image captures a young man, leaning back in a throwing stance, as he has just tossed his six-armed bola in the direction of a flock of eleven flying birds. Bolas, traditionally crafted of multiple weights of ivory, stone, or wood, are attached to braided sinew or grass lines, and then swung over the head and thrown to entangle birds in the air. Titled, numbered, signed, and dated by the artist c.1977 across the lower margin. Shrink-wrapped on board measuring approximately 24.25" x 12" with a sight view of 22.25" x 10".
