Carving3528/30 a-b

Rectangular slice of antler with a carved seal hunting scene positioned on top. Near the centre, a hunter is standing bent over a seal hole, standing on a square piece of fur, with a harpoon resting on two stands in front of him. Across what would be a seal breathing hole is a short, curved snow wall, with the bricks outlined in black ink. Another carved male is positioned standing back behind the hunter; while at the opposite end (on the other side of the snow wall) is a carved seal (part b) lying on the 'ice'.
