Description

Small toggle made from bone or ivory. It is widest at the midpoint, where a hole has been drilled for attaching a line, part of which remains in place. The two ends have been carved to represent the faces of animals, with shallow drilled holes representing their eyes. The length of the faces suggests that they are caribou representations.
