Two-piece carved cribbage board believed to be walrus ivory, fashioned from a curved tusk with a fitted removable cover and surviving playing pegs. The board features multiple rows of drilled scoring holes, while the cover is decorated with incised circular and linear motifs.

The form and material are consistent with documented walrus-tusk cribbage boards produced in Arctic and Inuit carving traditions. Museum collections contain comparable examples carved directly from walrus tusks, including boards incorporating peg storage and fitted covers.

Based on its appearance, walrus ivory is considered the likely material; however, the material, age, cultural attribution and maker have not been independently authenticated and are therefore presented conservatively.
