This is a fantastic Inuit Eskimo Native American Indian hand carved cribbage from the mid-20th Century. The cribbage board is constructed of wonderful Walrus Tusk and shows various drilled holes and scrimshaw accents along the top accompanied by a carved three dimensional seals head with open mouth exposing its dangerous teeth also accented by scrimshaw. The piece shows a rear drilled hole and glue residue, but overall is in good condition. The piece measures 5.25"L x 1.5"H x 1"W.
