Inuit Pipe

19791 min 30 secFilm

Produced by the National Film Board of Canada for the National Museum of Man, National Museums of Canada.

With the eye of the artist who crafted this exceptional Inuit artifact, the camera explores in close-up the exquisite detail of the daily hunt, fishing scenes, and children at play incised in black on ivory that has the warm patina of age. This pipe is an outstanding example of the traditional fine pieces--small, light, easily portable, and lavished with artistic detail.
