A carved whale bone figurine depicting an Alaska Native hunter with a face carved from a white material, tentatively identified as walrus bone, attired in a parka featuring embedded baleen accents on the face and around the parka's trim. The hunter comes with a harpoon crafted from wood and a baleen spearhead, plus a baleen fish attached to a float. The figurine's right hand appears to be missing; it measures approximately 3" x 1.25" x 9" high.
