Traditional qulliq used by the Arctic Peoples. This characteristic type of oil lamp provided warmth and light in the harsh Arctic environment where there was no wood and where the sparse inhabitants relied almost entirely on seal oil or on whale blubber.

It is said that the qulliq was the single most important article of furniture for the Inuit in their dwellings.
