Although the Labrador Inuit frequently used a perforated rabbit skull for the traditional game of ring and pin, this example from the northern coast consists of an ivory carving said to represent a bear. In playing, the "bear" was swung on the braided sinew and caught on the tip of the ivory pin. Each of the drilled holes had to be "stabbed" in a prescribed order.
