Sold New Item Coming Soon
Walrus Baculum Oosik Penile Bone. Walrus have a bone called a baculum (oosik is the native word) inside their penis as do some other mammals, the walrus has the largest. As the Ode to An Oosik poem goes (see photo) "Tho the climate is frigid the walrus is rigid, pray why is not man so endowed". This is a huge 22 1/4" long specimen, polished and very nice, it was not excavated, it was collected from before 1972 when non natives could hunt walrus so this is rare. We obtained it from the family of the 1960's era hunter. This bone is dense and heavy, they were often used as clubs for dispatching animals. Comes complete with a custom made exotic wood base with brass name plate and the Framed "Ode To An Oosik" written by Dwight Milligrock of Diomede Island, Alaska. One of the nicest largest specimens we have had with certainly the best display base, a real conversation piece. Free shipping
