Inuit Carved Stone Walrus Sculpture with Carved Tusk, Mid-20th Century, A finely hand-carved Inuit soapstone figure depicting a resting walrus, rendered in a traditional compact form with simplified contours and emphasized musculature. The sculpture features one remaining carved tusk, likely made of bone, antler, or walrus ivory, typical of mid-century Inuit carving techniques. The stone displays attractive natural variegation in grays, greens, and charcoal tones, with visible tool marks that show the artist’s hand. The walrus is shown in a relaxed, low posture with flipper details incised on the sides and a rounded, stylized head. The underside is flat, allowing stable display.
