Appraisal: Robert Mayokok Plates, ca. 1960
GUEST: We were just going for a walk up our street, and a few houses down, there was some items on the curb, and my husband said, "We'll get it on the way back," And I said, "No, no!
These plates are too nice."
"Well, let's take them now."
APPRAISER: His name is Robert Mayokok.
He is Alaskan Native.
He pursued the traditional ways.
And so all of these activities, he understood, he had participated in them.
These are hand-painted.
He was a fairly prolific artist.
If they showed up in an antique shop, I think we could say a price on them of at least $50 or $60 each.
GUEST: Oh, wow.
Awesome.
Thank you.
