Port Harrison Throwing Board

Port Harrison Throwing Board

This is an Inuit throwing board from Port Harrison (now Inoucdjouac), located on the Hudson Bay in NE Quebec, Canada. It was collected in the early 1900s.

This is my attempt at figuring out a tiny image from the internet (g). As you can see from the picture at the bottom, the original throwing board isn't very large at all. I assumed the bird spear was 4' long, which makes the throwing board about 7" long.


Material:
Wood, 7" x 3 1/4" x 3/4"
Dowel, 3/16" x 3/4"

Construction:
Port Harrison Throwing Board and Spear
