Dear Tony,
Thank you for your request. this is a drawing on reindeer skin with the measurements 10 x 14 inches. It was made by the Alaskan artist George Ahgupuk (1911-2001) and it depicts a scene from the everyday life of the Inupiat Eskimo. A man with his dog is watching a herd of caribous.
An estimation would be from 150 to 300 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.
With best regards,
Georg
