Quadruped before 1500

This collection of Inuit carvings, dated before 1500, includes a diverse range of animals, including a larger piece depicting a quadruped and several smaller carvings, all meticulously crafted from bone and wood. The collection provides a glimpse into the daily lives and artistic traditions of the Inuit people. These small, intricate carvings, known as "quadrupeds," are a testament to the skill and artistry of Inuit carvers. The collection is now housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, making it accessible to a wider audience.
