A Qulliq is an Inuit lamp/stove which burns seal oil for fuel.
The stone is carved into a "vessel" which holds the fuel. (traditionally seal oil)
A Qullik was a source of light and heat for Inuit people.
BEAUTIFUL AND FUNCTIONAL is a one of a kind Qulliq.
There are three different colours of stone.
The stove and the flame holder are a soft lime green speckled with underlying medium greens and pastel yellows,
The stove is the shape of a teardrop similar to the Persian buta in a Paisley pattern.
Very unique.
The stand for the Qullik are two "Pillars" on a base of stone.
This is a presentation of a Qullik which is imaginative and STUNNING.
Inside the igloo, the stove was used for cooking and for warmth.
Imagine having this beautiful "stove" as a conversation piece in your collection.
