Born in Wales, Alaska, Robert Mayokok became a painter of subjects depicting his culture. He was a resident artist at the Alaska Treasure Shop for eighteen years, talking to visitors and designing Christmas cards, stationery, shopping bags, etc. His medium was ink and ink wash and then when he felt he had mastered that, he used color, usually on bleached animal skins including rabbit, caribou hide, cowhide and even pig skin. This piece is believed to be pre 1970 because after 1970 he included three small birds in his drawings to symbolize the Holy Trinity of his Christian faith.
