<p>[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 913746, member: 55"]My own opinion: it could well have been carved by an Alaskan Native; there is no reason a bobcat or lynx could not be a subject for a native Alaskan carver. There is no guarantee that this is native-made, on the other hand; but I'd think that more likely than not. The style is quite consistent with a number of walrus-tusk carvings in my collection with native provenance.</p><p>(The Kwakiutl description would not be correct however).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
