Description
A small and long white-yellow coloured walrus tusk piece with black coloured designs. The piece is wider in the centre and the two ends taper to a squared-off point. Both sides of the object have the same black coloured design: in the centre of the piece just below a carved hole is a large circular design with three concentric circles within. Outside the larger centred circle and at each end of the piece are four circles with doted centres on each corner of the circle. These are seperated by two circles with doted centres in between two black coloured lines. Circles with doted centres line the outer edge of the piece.
