Description

This beautiful  one of a kind necklace was handmade using prehistoric walrus ivory which was found in Alaska. For over 5,000 years Eskimos in the coastal villages along the Bering Sea fashioned sled runners, net weights, chopping tools and other utensils out of readily available ivory. That ivory became hidden from the world for centuries.  Minerals absorbed from the surrounding soil have given the buried ivory beautiful natural tones of cream, brown, green and black.
Length- 13" inches (with turtle). Turtle - 2".  Comes with a Fossil Ivory information card.
