A lively walrus ivory and antler diorama by Iñupiaq artist Justin Tiulana (1947–2025), depicting a hunter traveling with a dog and a harvested seal. The parka-clad figure carries a harpoon and leads the dog while drawing the seal behind on a line. Arranged across a long antler slice, the separate figures form a compact narrative of the return from a hunt. Measures approximately 9.5" x 3" x 3.75".
