The Blanket Toss today is used as a form of recreation and celebration, but historically, the blanket toss had a much more serious purpose. As much of the coast of Northern & Western Alaska is barren and flat, the native people of this region would use a blanket made from the hide of a walrus to toss a member of their hunting party high into the air in order to spot game.

This delightful pin cushion is made in Alaska and features 8 people engaged in a blanket toss. The figurines heads are made of wood and feature a mink ruff. Base color will vary. Approximately 5" in diameter. At his item uses animal fur, it is not eligible for international orders.
