Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $300**

Native American / First Nations, Northwest Coast United States, Alaska or Canada, Inupiaq/Inuit people, ca. mid-20th century CE. A charming carving made from whalebone of a canine head, perhaps a fox, wolf, or coyote. Whale bone sculpture requires the use of older bone that has dried and ossified - new bone will splinter and be too oily to carve- hence the wonderfully aged and weathered appearance of these works. Size: 4.5" L x 3.75" W x 4.25" H (11.4 cm x 9.5 cm x 10.8 cm)

Provenance: private Greenwood Village, Colorado, USA collection
