Four small walrus ivory carvings: a woman's head with finely incised hair and a hollow underside, a seal, a reclining human figure with darkened details, and a curved four-tier abstract form. The largest, the head, measures approximately 1.5 x 1.25 inches. The seal has a conspicuous dark lengthwise crack extending from its head toward the hind flippers. Additional cracks, staining, surface wear and rough or chipped edges are visible, including fissures on the woman's head. The reclining figure and abstract piece have small holes underneath; no separate mounts are included.
