Carving

Large slab of aged, brown whale bone (part a) used as a base for a hunting scene. A carved stone hunter (part b) stands in a partial crouch at one end, holding a bow and arrow made of antler and sinew, pointed toward a stone caribou (parts c-f) at the other end. The caribou has its legs folded, and has an arrow sticking out of a hole in its side, as well as removable antlers on top of its head. Both stone carvings are positioned on the whale bone base by small pegs (parts g-h); the peg holes are in the man's right foot, and the stomach of the animal. Unsigned.
