Tupilak / Tupilaq, Sisimuit Town, Greenland


These are the largest and most multi-headed tupilaqs I saw. I've never actually seen any two exactly the same, the different styles come from different carvers, looking at the one in the middle by the price it's probably by the same person who carved the one I bought as it's the same style and different to the others.
