Medium Inukshuk

The inukshuk is a stone marker of the Inuit, particularly those of the eastern Arctic. 'Inukshuk' means 'in the capacity of a man', in that it could be used to mark a site (a grave, food cache, spiritual site, etc), give direction, or perform any task a person otherwise would. These markers come in various shapes, from a single, small pinnacle stone to an elaborate multi-rock cairn.  Specific names are given relating to the inukshuk's specific purpose and/or shape.  The shape of the inukshuk seen here is an 'inunguak' meaning 'in the shape or form of a man'.  Size: approximately 24 mm high, and the spread of 'arms' approximately 21 mm. (See also the mini and large inukshuk).
