Description
Alaskan Eskimos have been carving beautiful objects of ivory for 2, 000 years. Artists of The Tundra and the Sea, originally published in 1961, is a synthesis of Dorothy Jean Ray's Fieldwork with the Alaskan carvers and her intensive study of principal museum collections and historical art styles , as well as of the attitudes, products, and cultural significance of the contemporary carvers. In her introduction of the 1980 edition, Ray brings up-to-date the state of northern Alaska ivory carving.
