This is a large Oosik, measuring 22" in overall length. It is made from the penis bone of a walrus, the two ends are ivory, the one end carved in a polar bear head. The lower portion of the club is missing the baleen or horn insert which is present at the upper end with the polar bear. Am asking $400 or open to trade offers. Circa 1900-1920.
