Origin: St. Lawrence IslandCountry/Region of Manufacture: United States
Tribal Affiliation: YupikArtisan: Ancient Yupik Hunter
Original Description:
Nice correct complete Ulu with sharpened edge.  Most likely for fine cutting and sewing.  Not sure how long handle and blade have been together, but they compliment each other well and each is period correct in their own right.  Honestly this is one of the few examples where the handle and blade look original to each other, making this a truly rare specimen.    More interestingly it fits in the palm of your left hand exceptionally well and may be the only one I...'ve ever held that felt more comfortable in the left hand.  Ulu blades were survival to the early Bering Sea Cultures this example will compliment any early Alaskan collection.  Last photo is with a ruler for reference.
