Title: Ivory harpoon head Contact: Katura Reynolds Description: This harpoon head was carved out of solid ivory. The top flanges that held the spear tip have broken off with time, but the lower hole where the pole was inserted is still clearly visible. There is a detailed pattern of incised circles and dots on the surface of the harpoon head. This image was published in Aleut Art by Lydia T. Black.
