Two small antler Happy Walrus carvings with incised faces, tusks and flipper details. Both have dark circular nose inlays, likely baleen. The larger carving rests on a baleen base inscribed Happy Walrus and initialed GD. The smaller is unsigned and closely related in style. The antler has natural mottling and porous areas, with surface marks and discoloration. The baleen base is scratched and has a chipped corner and separation along part of its layered edge; mounting material is visible beneath the larger carving. The larger piece measures approximately 2.75 by 1.25 by 1.5 inches high.
