Alongside caribou, the Kivallirmiut from the Kazan River region depended on the muskox as a crucial source of sustenance and materials for clothing. Mathew Aqigaaq, deeply aware of the animal’s cultural importance, reflected its significance through recurring depictions in his artistic work. The sculpted forms in this piece exemplify Aqigaaq's distinctive approach, characterized by rounded, voluminous shapes.
