Walrus Carving3528/1 a-d

Three stone carvings representing a dancing walrus family, mother (part b), father (part c) and child (part d), pegged on top of a carved stone boot (part a). All pieces are in a green-grey stone; the boot and female in a lighter green, the male and child in a darker green, all with dark spots. Each walrus has plastic(?) inlay creating black and white eyes, and bone(?) tusks and bottom pegs adhered in place. 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.
