I visited grandma Etok the other day with my parents, brother and my nephew. My grandma showed me this thing. I don't know what it's called, but she told me that her father used it to bring seals ashore. It's pretty neat. The handle is made out of wood. The wood is attached to a rope(the rope is bloody). The rope is tied to a nail that's been made into a hook. The hook is attached to a bone. The rope, the hook and the bone are tied by an elastic, like hair elastic... It's neat how grandma's father used many different things that had other purposes and he made them into a whole different thing. And that I think, is art. XD
She said she found it by the old boat they used to own. She said, "I wonder how many seals my father used to bring with that." The masterpiece now hangs on her wall.
