    Pair of SNOW GOGGLES called yukluktaak
    Iñupiat culture, Alaska
    Late 19th century
    Wood and pigments
    H.: 4.5; W.: 16 cm
     
    Pair of snow goggles made of wood pigmented with black and red ochre on the fronts. They are curved and punctuated by a horizontal hole for the eyes.
    The inside of the eye sockets retains traces of black pigments and is marked with two inventory or collection numbers.
     
    These goggles, characteristic of the Far North, were used to reduce the intensity of the sun's rays and protect the retina from glare and reflections on the snow and ice floes.
