Sedna, also called Taleelayo and Nuliajuk in different Arctic regions, is the mother and guardian of the sea animals. Sedna with a Hair Brush depicts the sea goddess, who has the body of a woman and the tail of a fish, with a shocking red hairstyle, holding a bone hair brush and reclining on a stone. "There is an almost punkish quality to the work that... suggests that Ungalaq was trying to recreate an idea from the past in today's terms." Here, an angry Sedna is waiting for the shaman to appease her by brushing her hair. The choice of fur for the look of unkempt hair and the angular treatment of her face and body indicate the unique and unusual quality of this work, causing it to stand out among Inuit sculpture.
