Description
Walrus Mask (aka nose plate) has 15” long tusks exposed and is 20” overall top to tips and has all 8 teeth that are in the palate. A nice medium sized specimen, pre 1972 with no scrimshaw, over 50 years old. Bargain priced at only $1600, includes shipping and insurance.
All the walrus masks we sell are from the 1900’s and are being reintroduced into the market, they are decades old, always purchased in the lower 48 from previous owners. We do not buy any of these in Alaska where they are still being hunted for food. Some of ours are pre 1972 and others have native Alaskan scrimshaw, both are legal to buy and sell. No one is hunting walrus to supply us with these; they are all “recycled”.
