Two walrus figurines: a walrus ivory carving by Vince Kunnuk (d.2017) of King Island, Alaska, with a rounded body and long tusks; and a darker mineralized walrus ivory example marked "St. Lawrence" on the underside. Both have dark baleen dot details. Dark fissures are visible along the larger carving’s side and rear, and a longitudinal check runs through the smaller example. The larger measures approximately 2.75" x 1.5" x 1.75" tall.
