Description
Pacific Northwest, Alaska, Sitka, Tlingit culture, ca. 1000 to 1500 CE. Extremely rare carved pendant - possibly carved from seal or sea lion - in the form of an abstract totem.

Provenance: private Los Angeles County, California, USA collection; ex-collection of Joel Malter, Los Angeles, California, USA
