Eskimo ivory seal carving

$220.00

Eskimo ivory seal carving

Some Alaskan Eskimo carvers will etch and darken animals’ whiskers. This artist has chosen to do so with the seal’s eyebrows. We have seen this done before, but we do not know who the artist is.

The drilled hole on the bottom indicates this may have had a base at one time, and may have been part of a scene with other animals.

ca. 4th quarter 20th century

3 7/8 inches long x 1 1/4 inches wide x 3/4 inch high
