Last but not least, here is the New Mexico stone polished pottery that I collect and the walrus and mammoth ivory carvings that my husband and I collect. This is an older picture, we have several more pieces of ivory now.

In the ivory, (L to R) you can see a musk ox, whale pod, sea otter chasing a fish, and a mother/baby whale pair. Also, there is an Alaskan dog sled in the front and a little eskimo figure. The whale pod (there are 11 whales - some on the back you can't see) was carved out of walrus tusk - there are no separate pieces glued together, it is one piece of antler with everything carved from it.
