*** U.S. buyers cannot purchase this piece because ivory is restricted by Canadian Government Customs. We ship only to a Canadian address.

I was immediately taken with this very unusual carving. 

Have you ever seen a tiny seal sitting in the bowl of an ivory spoon?

I would say that Nakoolak is showing off his carving skills with this tiny scene.

The ivory spoon rests on a gorgeous dark green stone.  The contrast between the ivory and the green creates elegance.

Do you know anyone who collects spoons?  This would be the perfect addition to their collection.
