Unlike the magical orientation of Dorset art, the art of the Thule people was mainly applied to the decoration of objects for everyday use. Clockwise from the upper left: a decorated ivory pin with a human face, perhaps used to close the wounds of dead animals; a woman's needle case; amber beads; a comb; ivory pendants; an ivory plaque, perhaps used as a hair ornament; a stone lamp trimmer; a wooden doll; a toy trace buckle, thimble holder, snow knife and bucket; and bird or bird-woman figures, perhaps used in a game.
