Inuit walrus ivory pipes with carved figures are highly collectible historic artifacts that represent a unique convergence of Indigenous Arctic art, early Asian maritime trade, and Euro-American commercial whaling. Primarily produced in the Bering Strait region of Alaska from the mid-to-late 19th century into the early 20th century, these items transformed functional smoking tools into intricate narrative sculptures.
