Eskimo Art Work

Abstract

AMONG the many objects of interest seen in a brief journey to the cryolite mines in the Arsuk fjord, Greenland, last September, none was more attractive than a collection of what may be called Eskimo works of art, belonging to Assistant-Superintendent Edwards, of the mine. Three of the specimens were photographed with a tourist's camera. Although the photograph was not a very good one, it shows a degree of skill in sculpture that would probably surprise those familiar only with those specimens found in such museums as the Washington and the Berlin.
