Sweet Small Inuit Eskimo Carved Tusk Polar Bear  portrait of beauty It measures 9 1/8" longSuch a treat to find this one along with a larger polar bear companion the other dayAlaskan Inuit, carved of walrus tusk, with tiny inked eyes, mouth, paws and tail. A total charmer I think, looking as if patiently waiting patiently waiting next to a hole in the ice hoping for a seal to emerge. Mid 20th c. or so I believe. 1 7 16 x 5 8 x 3 4 and in excellent condition. NOTE: Cannot be shipped to California, Hawaii, New Jersey, New York, Oregon and
