Pair of 19th C Inuit Male Statues carved in Walrus Tusk
Located in brussel, BE
This pair is a fine example of ivory carving done by Inuit natives; Native Americans who live within and just below the Arctic Circle. Each year they procured a substantial amount of ivory from their walrus kills. The raw ivory was usually thrown on top of their huts to weather and properly season.
