[Bonetools] Carved walrus skulls

[Pajx]

Very interesting, Christian!


Thanks for sending it out. I've seen carved and painted animal skulls in US art fairs, so the inclination still abounds to display and decorate skulls...


cheers

Dear list members,


looking for something completely different I recently stumbled over an old article about some worked bone items which are so peculiar that I felt I had to share them with you.


Best


Christian
