Carving3528/6

Two pronged antler carving attached to a stone base. In the lowest section of the antler a human-like face is carved. Just above where the antler splits in two branches, is a carved water spirit(?) type creature with caribou fur for hair and flippers as hands and feet; at the end of that prong another smaller creature with flippers is carved. The other branch sticks out to the side and has a twist carved into most of its length; at the end is a bird-human type creature, carved as if it is biting the branch with a large beak; its two legs and an arm are extended out. The stone base is irregular, but almost square. Unsigned.
