Native Greenland Eskimo Inuit Ivory Tupilak This is a truly beautiful and rare museum quality tupilak standing 4 ¼" tall and carved with a specific wish or intention in mind and then normally offered to the sea to achieve that desired event or outcome. Tupilak's look like mystical or spiritual figures . I purchased this item on eBay in 1999 for $610 from a seller who purchased it in North Greenland in the 1960's. He described the condition as excellent, but I have always wondered if one of the legs has a small missing piece although the tupilak stands fine as you can see in the photos. REASONABLE RESERVE Prefer Paypal but will accept personal check with hold until it clears. Shipping and insurance anyw in "lower 48" USA for $8 via Fedex ground; AK and HI for $12. To comply with the U.S. Marine Mammal Act, this item can only be shipped to a USA address. Happy bidding
