Product Overview
This is a hand-carved sculpture made from walrus jawbone and baleen, materials traditionally used by Alaska Native artisans. Walrus jawbone is a rare and culturally significant material, primarily available to Indigenous communities due to legal restrictions on marine mammal products. Its dense structure makes it ideal for intricate carvings. Baleen, derived from whales, is known for its flexibility and fine texture, often used for detailing and accents in Native artwork. The craftsmanship and natural materials make this piece not only unique but also a representation of Alaska Native artistry and heritage.
Such items are highly collectible and often available only through specialized galleries or directly from Indigenous artists. Signed by the artist.
Approx. 3" x 3" x 4".
