Sometimes these dolls were used to represent a mother or a desired child, as a ritualized instrument to make a childless couple have children. They also make masks, which can range from a simple mask with eye holes to large masks with hands, feet, fish, clams, and seals attached to them. These Inuit spirit and appendage masks are famous.
