Traditional First Nations-Alaska Native/Walrus Luxury Throw

By DoreneLorenz

Made in the UK

This luxurious handmade-to-order throw features the "Eskimo" character from a hand-colored Karl Joseph Brodtmann stone lithograph from H.R. Schinz's 1840 Naturgeschichte und Abbidungen des Menschen. This man could be of Siberian Yupik, Inupiat or Inuit descent. Brodtmann was part of the post-Linnaean Age of Enlightenment, hand-colouring sets for biologists and the aristocracy. Brodtmann's work displayed a remarkable sense of aesthetics and scientific accuracy. This 57" x 57" throw is handcrafted with a luxurious 13.27 oz. plush velvet front and a lush 5.90 oz. Sherpa fleece back with expertly hemmed edges. Printed with eco-friendly inks. Wash on the gentle cycle at 86 degrees F, do not tumble dry.
