Large carved stone walrus with two removable bone(?) tusks (parts b-c). The walrus is carved in black stone, lying on its right side with details carved to show wrinkles in the skin, flippers, and markings on its face. The two tusks are carved of bone(?) and fit into holes in the animal's snout. Unsigned.
Hunter in sealskin covered kayak with hunting equipment. The model kayak (part a) is a wood frame covered in tight sealskin; the opening for the paddler has a U-shaped piece of bone(?) around the front, with a wooden slat at the back (nailed in place). The hunter (part b) fits tightly inside the opening and is wearing a sealskin parka, and has a carved stone face; his arms are held in front, holding a long bone(?) paddle horizontally in both hands (skin loops). On top of the kayak, in front of the hunter and tucked under a skin strap, is a bone harpoon attached by sinew to a sealskin line, which sits in folds, with the other end attached to a piece of skin cut-out to look like a seal float, tucked under straps behind the hunter. Next to the harpoon is a long bone hook (part c) that also fits under the strap. The base of the hunter has the artist name and disc number written in green marker. An inside slat of the kayak also has the disc number in green.

There are three evenly spaced holes drilled in the top of the kamik-style carved boot. Artist syllabics are inscribed on the base of the boot.
