Sweet Small Inuit Eskimo Carved Tusk Polar Bear  boaters on river painting Painting is in good conditionSuch 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.

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
