Ammassalik wooden maps

He returned to Denmark with a set of three-dimensional wooden maps of the coast around 66°N 36°W / 66°N 36°W / 66; -36, carved by a native of Umivik named Kunit.

Kunit approached Holm on February 8, 1885, and sold the maps representing the coast from Sermiligak to Kangerdlugsuatsiak.

[1] Upon Holm's return, the maps were deposited along with the rest of the collection at the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen.

As of 1948 the maps were still in Copenhagen; copies were deposited in the Musée d'Ethnographie du Trocadéro in Paris.

[3] Woodward & Lewis (1998) write that the "only other known example" of such a map is a specimen at the Michigan State University Museum — item 896.7, 62154 — which is probably a copy of Kunit's work.
