Product Overview
Carved from a long, naturally shaped piece of whalebone, this artwork depicts a family of walruses resting along the shore. The elongated form highlights the graceful flow of the composition and the natural texture of the whalebone — a rare material traditionally used by Alaska Native artists. The tusks of the walruses are made of fossilized walrus ivory.
