A richly mineralized walrus tusk diorama featuring a quartet of adult and juvenile walruses, each accented with scrimshaw details, as a hunter approaches in a crawling pose to position himself behind an icy outcropping. The tusk has been fractured as shown, one walrus is missing a tusk, and the hunter's tool - likely a harpoon - is partially absent as photographed. Diorama measures approximately 21" x 1.75" x 3.75" tall.
