The Oldest Tupilaq

In the museum exhibition, you can see the oldest known tupilaq from East Greenland. It was made by Mitsivarniaanga (1860-1910), the shaman of Angmagssalik, in 1893. Mitsivarniaanga's son was the later famous artist of East Greenlandic art, Kaarale Andreassen (1890-1934). In the collection, you can see a number of newer tupilaqs as well.

Collections
