Cribbage, anyone? This walrus-shaped cribbage board, carved by the late Kimmirut artist Jonah Oolayou, is being previewed online at Waddingtons Auction House ahead of its upcoming Inuit art auction Nov. 18. The auction will feature dozens of sculptures, graphics and works on cloth collected from Iqaluit in the 1970s. The walrus cribbage board, carved from antler and inscribed with the artist’s disc number, is estimated at $200.
