A wonderful antique Inuit walrus ivory toggle, carved to resemble a reclining or swimming seal when seen in profile. The eyes nose and ears are drilled. Portions of the surface have taken on a dark brown colour from long burial in the ground. A fine hunting related Inuit artifact, in the form of an animal that is integral to their subsistence and way of life.

Charme de tête de morse quadrupède en ivoire marin, peuple Inuit, Alaska.Magnifique ivoire de morse inuit, sculpté pour ressembler à un phoque couché ou nageant lorsqu'il est vu de profil. Les yeux, le nez et les oreilles sont percés. Des parties de la surface ont pris une couleur brun foncé en raison d'un long enfouissement dans le sol. Un bel artefact inuit lié à la chasse, sous la forme d'un animal qui fait partie intégrante de leur subsistance et de leur mode de vie.
