The object is a sperm whale tooth with engraved images into which black pigment was applied. Images depict various aspects of hunting, fishing, and daily life. They include animals such as walrus, bears, whales, fishes and dogs. Condition is fair and stable with some material loss towards wide end of tooth.

This prehistoric stone bowl has been sculpted with the head of an owl. Use is unknown but it can join an entire genre of stone bowls made with different animals and human figures attached. Speculation has it that these deeply carved designs are early versions of the later highly developed formline design elements.
