Tool

Percy F. Broughton is thought to have collected this artifact while he served as a missionary with the Church Missionary Society, in Lake Harbour on Baffin Island, from 1911-1912.

Small blade attached to an antler haft. The blade is leaf shaped, with a wide shoulder that tapers to a point. It is inserted two centimetres down into the haft and secured there by a metal nail. The haft is pointed at top with rounded shoulders and a cleaved base. On the ventral side a large hole is bored horizontally through at the centre point and a hollow has been dug out at the base above the cleaved bottom.
