- Pair of 19th C Inuit Male Statues carved in Walrus TuskLocated in brussel, BEThis pair is a fine example of ivory carving done by Inuit natives; Native Americans who live within and just below the Arctic Circle.

Proper seasoning caused the ivory to dry from the inside out and thus rarely cracks. Hand-made tools were improvised for carving the ivory and bow-string hand drills were also in use. Ivory carving has been practiced by the Inuit for over 2,000 years and traditionally only Inuit men were allowed to carve objects out of ivory, bone, and wood. Artists found their inspiration in daily life and the natural world around them. Ivory items made from walrus tusks...Category
