Handcrafted in Alaska by Inupiaq artist. Walrus ivory comes from walruses of the Arctic regions of Alaska. Under U.S. law, only Alaska Native peoples are legally permitted to harvest walrus through subsistence hunting, a tradition protected for cultural and survival purposes. The ivory used in carvings and jewelry is soured and worked by Native artisans, continuing generations of Arctic craftsmanship and heritage.
