Unfortunately, we do not know who made this early twentieth-century cribbage board, nor even the community the artist was from. The designs have been scrimshawed into the ivory by incising designs and filling them with ink.
Some of the cribbage boards in the collection were made by Europeans, but this one has a distinctive Inuit flair. The scenes depict hunting, travelling by dog team, boat, and kayak, and what appear to be trading posts or European-Canadian encampments.
