An Eskimo walrus ivory scrimshaw pin (also called a brooch or pin) is a traditional piece of jewelry handmade by Inuit (often referred to historically as Eskimo) artists in Alaska or other Arctic regions. These are crafted from walrus ivory (tusks), which is polished smooth, then intricately engraved using the scrimshaw technique—fine line incisions filled with ink or pigment to create detailed images.
