Notes from DaVic Gallery: This is a very rare and interesting print by Eegyvudluk (Egevadluq) with two aquatic figures playing deep in the water. Both creatures have flippers. The first bottom figure gas body of a seal and head of a dog, while the second figure on top is that of a young seal pup with the face of a boy. Both show to eachother their sharp teeth so if not playing, they are perhaps fighting?
