large enough for one dramatic stalk

but the side it is still well attached and no real matter

I don't think it is especially old

The tops are partially open

Stoic But Very Empathetic Inuit Stone Carved Sea Lion with Chunky Flippers folk art ball large enough for one dramaticI believe a sea lion, with these wonderfully large, chunky front and back flippers, flapping down the side of his perch, feeling completely one with it. Good from both sides, and wonderfully narrowing to a point at front but I think my favorite view is from the top, revealing the lush mass of his body! Really a good one I think, with what looks to be a disc number as well perhaps as syllabics carved into the underside. 5 1 2" x 2 3 8" x 2 1 4" t. A
