Scrimshaw walrus ivory cribbage boards are traditional functional art objects, typically carved from walrus tusks (or sections of them) by Inuit/Alaska Native (often Iñupiaq or Yup’ik) artists, especially from areas like Nome, the Bering Strait, St. Lawrence Island, or Kotzebue. They feature drilled rows of holes for cribbage scoring pegs and are decorated with scrimshaw (incised/engraved designs, usually inked or pigment-filled) and sometimes carved figures.

  • All other pieces: $20

Buying from more than one category? You only pay the highest rate in your cart, so eight fetishes and a pair of earrings ship together for just $15.
