<p>[QUOTE="Mark London, post: 4494010, member: 346"]The bird is by Marysa Kolola from Kimmirut (Lake Harbour) who was born in 1940. The stone would date the piece to the early to mid 1970's. The walrus is likely by Timothy Appatok from Kugluktuk (Coppermine) who was born in 1932. The walrus duo seems unsigned.
