Inuit carvings of walruses are a popular subject in traditional and contemporary Inuit art, reflecting the animal's importance in Arctic life as a source of food, tools, and materials. Historically, these were crafted from walrus ivory (tusks), often as small figurines, amulets, or decorative items with spiritual significance. Modern pieces frequently use soapstone for larger sculptures, allowing detailed depictions of the walrus's bulky form, flippers, and tusks.
