An Alaska Pacific walrus (Odobenus rosmarus divergens) head mount featuring an graceful female specimen with a matched pair of long, slender tusks measuring approximately 25 inches in length.

The rostrum remains intact with six original cheek teeth and a pair of small incisors situated forward of the tusks. The specimen exhibits pleasing ivory coloration and natural patina throughout, with the elegant proportions and finer tusk form characteristic of mature female walrus. Minor surface loss is present to the tusk tips as photographed. The mount is displayed upon a custom wooden plaque and is ready for hanging. Plaque measures approximately 7.25" x 33.5"; the walrus head mount measures approximately 6" x 5.5" x 31.5", with each tusk measuring approximately 25" in length.
