Two long, forked antlers [made from caribou antler] are removable, underside reveals carved hind hooves. Syllabics and 1592 scratched on base; Simotic label removed from bottom. Deciphering of syllabics on bottom indicated spellings of Simaotik or Simautik and are presumed to be the same Port Harrison artist as Simotic indicated on this piece, reference Sculpture/Inuit, U. of Toronto Press, Item #403 and Sculpture of the Eskimo, Swinton, Geo., items 132, 255.
