Product Description
A small narwhal hand-carved in fossil walrus ivory by Tom Watson
This fossil walrus ivory narwhal carving by Tom Watson shows the Arctic whale diving forward, its spiraled tusk raised and its tail lifted behind. The narwhal is carved from fossil walrus ivory and rests on a rugged base of the same material.
Fossil walrus ivory carries natural mottled tones in brown and cream, which Watson uses to shade the narwhal's back. At 3 1/4 inches including the tusk, it is small enough for a desk or shelf and detailed enough to reward a close look.
