Bird before 1500

This collection of carved animal figures, created by the Inuit people before 1500, showcases the diverse wildlife of the Arctic. The figures are made of ivory, bone, and wood, and depict animals such as birds, bears, walruses, and caribou. The collection is housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art and represents a significant aspect of Inuit art and culture. These small sculptures are a testament to the skill and artistry of the Inuit people, and their detailed representations of animals reflect their close connection to the natural world.
