Ivory Walrus on Fossil Ivory Base

View more work by Ben Pungowiyi

Pungowiyi carves walruses that are notably realistic which reflect the work of not just a great artist, but also a hunter who has spent his life observing the animals firsthand. This piece is carved from walrus ivory and rests on an "iceberg" made of older, fossil walrus ivory.
