    I have something similar to yours. Same sort of stone with number underneath E 9877 anyway tracked mine down somehow ages ago to a Mary Okara Inupuk who was married to sculptor Johnny Inukpuk, inukjuac walkers, this may help you the artists all had their own numbers. It took me ages to find out about mine.
    I'll try a take a picture image.jpg image.jpg
