A very nice sculpture of two ivory narwhals carved out of one tusk. The dimensions are 2.25" x 1.5" x 10" ( dimensions with the narwhals tusk) . The carving originates from Pangnirtung but I do not know who the carver is.

This is a large kayak with hunter and seal, all in ivory. The kayak is mounted on stone base and has whalebone harpoons on the back. The dimensions of the carving without the base is 12"x 1.5" x 2.5". With the base the dimensions are: 12" x 2.5" x 3.5". The carving has an authenticity sticker underneath, but I can not make out who the carver is. I do know that it originally came from Pangnirtung . A nice older piece.
This sweetheart is basking in the sun, catching a bit of warmth. It is a lovely ivory carving of a seal on a serpentine base. I don't know much about this carving except that it is signed underneath and is probably from before 1980. The ivory has a lovely old yellowish patina to it which does not show well in the picture. The carving is only 3" x 1.5" x 1"
