    Hello, we have this carved stone musk ox (or yak??) that we would love to get some more information on.
    Is it Inuit? And is there a way to tell who made it with the mark and numbers? Or are the numbers a date?
    We’re also curious what type of stone it is. It’s very heavy and feels cold… not sure if that matters or not.
    Any information given is greatly appreciated!

    It might be Inuit but the markings don’t look familiar nor does the style. The sawed off flat base is rather atypical for Inuit pieces.
