Fishing & Hunting gear--Alaska--1885-1911

This was used to drag dead seals over the ice. Three pieces of ivory are used for handles that are threaded by stiff leather cord. Two of the ivory pieces appear to be carved into the shape of heads with blue beads for eyes, and the other piece is shaped like a pair of pants.
