This is a vintage hand-carved Eskimo carved bracelet by Inuit artist J. Omiak of Teller, Alaska. It features ten rectangular beads, five of which are delicately carved in high relief of Arctic animals -- an Arctic fox, a walrus, a polar bear, a whale and a seal. The animals display scrimshaw accents filled with black pigment. The bracelet is signed on the interior "J. Omiak" with black pigment.
This bracelet is strung on white elastic cording, and measures about two-inches its the interior. It measures about 2-3/4-inches in diameter overall on the exterior.
