- Lot Description
North America, Northern United States / Canada, Inuit, Yupik or Aleut people, ca. mid-20th century CE. This is a charming embroidered felt textile wall hanging known as a nivingajuliat, with a stylistic scene of an Inuit couple and their sled dogs. This red rectangle of wool is stitched with applique felt pieces to create the colorful imagery; a man and women walking from an igloo, the sun shining, and adorable dogs pulling a sled in the foreground. Simple chain stitching in white indicates snow drifts and abstract birds in the sky. Traditionally women sewed and created these works as decorative items to sell and often depict traditional lives of arctic people and animals. The art form known as nivingajuliat developed from craft programs sponsored by the government in the 1960s. Size: 29.5" L x 28" W (74.9 cm x 71.1 cm)
Provenance: private Alamo collection, Alamo, California, USA, before 2000
