Cribbage board formed from a section of walrus tusk. The holes are divided into rectangles of two rows of six holes by inset green and red plastic lines. There are twelve rectangles. At each end of the rectangles is a triangle outlined in red plastic divided into two smaller triangles with a drilled hole for a marker. On the surface of the board, inset in red plastic is '1951' and 'July' on the edges are small dots of alternating red and green plastic (seven on either side). At one end is a small slot for the markers with a cap of ivory. This cap has five plastic inset dots, four green and a centre dot which is red. This board has three wedge-shaped feet that fit into holes in the base of the board.

Cribbage board carved from a tusk. The playing surface is divided into six rectangles by an inset piece of black material (baleen?) with four rows of six holes in each. The distal end of the tusk has been carved into the shape of a human fist. The proximal end has four holes for markers and a sliding piece to cover the hole (part b). There are four markers inside (parts c-f). On top of the board, and attached by pegs, are two seals with black eyes and nostrils facing each other. The board has two feet, carved as two bear heads with black eyes and nostrils. The bears are attached to the board by two iron screws each. There are two separate point markers (parts g-h) in addition to, and slightly smaller than, the markers inside.
