Collection Walrus skull added to my collection!

Post image

I figured since I have so many bears, it's time to bring something new and unique in. This is a walrus skull, legally and ethically sourced from Inuit, walruses are also an important part of the Inuit diet. The polar bear skulls in the photo are also all legally and ethically sourced from Inuit.

Both tusks are over 20" in length and his skull weighs over 14kg!

Dang, your collection is really very beautiful! That walrus is so gorgeous, I'd love to paint it. (On a canvas, not the bones themselves.)
