When you open the drawers…

A peek inside one of the collection room drawers at the Nunalleq Museum in Quinhagak. Nearly 500 dolls/human figurines were found at the Nunalleq site. Some were used as toys, as well as in a wide variety of religious and ceremonial functions. Most were made from wood, then painted and provided with fur clothing, which remains intact on several of the dolls in the collection.
