Description: | Inuit attachments of bone and leather. Two lengths of bone secured with iron rivet to form a V, with holes at ends for attachment of thongs. Long leather thong with bone beads and toggles attached loosely to one arm. The two items have been wrongly associated, although each is labelled with the same Wellcome number. The wishbone-shaped bone artefact is an attachment for a fishing float. The line with beads and toggles is an attachment for a Parka.
