<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 913688, member: 5833&quot;]Thanks once again for sharing your expertise.&nbsp; I&#039;m not so naive as to think it is never violated, but isn&#039;t there law or regulation about who is allowed to own raw walrus tusk?&nbsp; The bobcat may predate any such restriction, of course.</p><p><br /></p><p>As I recall, seller called them all Kwakiutl, but admitted he really knew nothing, &amp; think that was just his way of saying Northwest Native, an assumption he was making based on where he was located.&nbsp; Google doesn&#039;t show me any Kwakiutl or Athabascan work like this.&nbsp; From the time I had them on my eBay watch list, I was operating on the notion that they could well be Zuni or another Southwest people, since tusk material makes its way south, presumably some finished product travels back the other way.&nbsp; I simply have never found another piece, NAM or not, that was really like it.&nbsp; The search, sporadically, continues.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
