- 20TH C. INUIT SCRIMSHAWED WALRUS TUSK
20TH C. INUIT SCRIMSHAWED WALRUS TUSK CRIBBAGE BOARDNative American, Northwestern United States, Alaska, Inuit or Inupiaq, ca. early to mid-20th century CE. A striking walrus ivory tusk, hand carved into a cribbage board with intricate scrimshawed motifs of animals and hunting scenes across the surfaces. The tusk is polished to even the surface for use as a score board face, and an ivory peg is added to the underside as a foot to balance the board, and at the tip is a large perforation for suspension. Two pairs of thirty incised holes within rectangular sections filled with black ink create the playing area, surrounded with a scene of caribou, a hand holding an antler, a man in boat hunting seals, and a sled dog. The other sides have fish and an encampment with a boat, and more walrus and seals basking on land and swimming. All is highly detailed and beautiful- suggesting the artis was very familiar with their natural surroundings! Size: 24.375" L x 2.375" W (61.9 cm x 6 cm)
