Two Eskimo adze artifacts, each from the 19th century or earlier. Both handles are fitted with pointed stone heads; one lashed together with sinew, the other baleen. Handles and blades show signs of wear commensurate with daily use, and the sinew on the shorter specimen is somewhat loose as photographed. The largest measures approximately 14" tall with a 4.5" wide cutting head.  Note: Please note this item falls under the Safeguard Tribal Objects of Patrimony Act and is not eligible for international shipping.
