A pair of spotted seal-fur booties is decorated with floral beadwork in turquoise, yellow, red, and white across the vamps. Black edging and ties frame the spotted fur, while striped fabric lines the interiors. The group also includes "Hunter" by Alaska artist Jerri Jors from the Reflections of Alaska collection, a white-haired, bearded figure in a blue patterned parka holding a spear. White caribou fur trims the hood and hem, and the figure stands on a section of birch. The underside is signed Jerri Jors, titled "Hunter", and marked with a 1994 copyright. A shallow coiled-grass bowl has a tightly worked natural-colored body and a purple-banded rim. The bowl measures approximately 10" x 9" x 3.25" tall. A small soapstone whale, likely Inuit, rests on a carved moose-antler base. Its rounded body and flared tail are cut from mottled green, brown, and dark stone. It is signed illegibly underneath and shows surface scuffs and small losses.
