Figure2912/16 a-b

Small carving of a polar bear and seal (part a). The bear stands on four legs in a wide stance, with a small carved tail at back, protruding ears atop the head, and engraved eyes and mouth on its face. The bear is consuming the seal, whose head disappears into the bear’s open mouth. The seal has two protruding fore flippers and one extended rear flipper. The other rear flipper is missing. A short wooden dowel is inserted into the stomach and held by adhesive, behind a small bored hole. Two black dots are painted on the stomach near the dowel. The stand (part b) is thin and flat, curves slightly to the left, and is also made of tusk. Through one end are bored two holes, one of which has been filled with adhesive and the other of which fits the wooden dowel of the seal. On the top near the centre, four dents have been carved to hold the feet of the bear. Adhesive fills the back two.
