A fascinating pair of Pre-Inuit Thule Culture Bowls dating to the 14th-16th Century, one carved from Bone and the other from Driftwood. The Driftwood Bowl is fragmentary with the loss of one side and a stable age crack on the base. While the Bowl may have served a utilitarian purpose, its small size indicates that it just as likely may have been a child’s toy. The Carved Bone Bowl, which resembles Prehistoric European carvings, may have been used to give a ritual drink of fresh water to a hunted animal. The Bowl has been restored at an earlier time and the epoxy or resin used is visible mostly on the underside. While much study has been done on the Thule Culture and its material Culture, the vastness of the Canadian and Alaskan wilderness guarantees that there is much more to be learned regarding this Dynamic culture.
The Driftwood Bowl measures 2.5” wide by 2.25” deep by 1.25” high.
The Bone Bowl measures 2.12” deep by 2.5” wide by 1.25” high.
Condition: Both bowls present in an authentic ancient manner and have signs of age and losses as described above.
