The piece mounted on the base is an artifact from an ivory sled runner. The ivory is very fossilized. Just this artifact along is extremely valuable. The kayaker hunter is carved and signed as shown below by Alaskan Native "KUV" Tuntutuliak , a Yupik Eskimo. This piece measures 6 inches in length, the kayaker measures 5 3/4 inches. The kayaker and kayak is carved from soild walrus ivory and it is so detailed, you have to see it to believe it. The face is carved from fossil ivory, making it look so real, you will expect the man to move. The paddle is baleen.
