This is an example of an Inuit sculpture by Paul Irngaut. It is made with stone, ivory, and black coloring. It shows an inukshuk with a hawk and a lemming. This is important to the Inuit because if the Inuit get lost, they'll look for the inukshuk.

This is my amulet. I made it by carving soapstone with a file. I polished it with sandpaper. I rubbed it with my hand. It shows an inukshuk. I made it because if the Inuit are lost, they could look for the inukshuk.
