Item Details

Description

Native American / First Nations, Northwest Coast United States, Alaska or Canada, Inupiaq/Inuit people, ca. early to mid-20th century CE. A pair of hand-carved seal sculptures made from whale bone. Carvings of animals Inuit hunted commemorated the spirit and the respect ensured successful future hunts. 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. Size of whiter seal: 7.75" L x 7.5" W x 4" H (19.7 cm x 19 cm x 10.2 cm)

Provenance: private Greenwood Village, Colorado, USA collection

All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.

#178829

Condition

Natural fissures, splintering / ossification to bone on both, and some flaking when upright seal is handled. Nice weathering throughout.
