Tribal Affiliation: YupikArtisan: Ancient Yupik Hunter
Original Description:
Making an effort to restock the Ebay store, figured I'd start with the staples.  Every Alaskan Artifact collection has to have ice testers, period. Every Yupik hunter carried a harpoon and almost every harpoon had a durable "ice tester" at its base.  This piece is somewhere between and ice tester and knife but is special in that it easily has the best marbled orange patina I ever seen and would be great knife handle material for all of the Forged in Fire enthusiasts out there.... Last photo is on a 1" x 1" grid.   Please look at my other Alaskan Artifacts.
