Harpoons were not the only hunting gear to which Arctic artists turned their talents. This ivory bird dart head was crafted with remarkable sensitivity in its tapering, five-barbed form, especially in the small details near the base, which were executed with extreme care and accuracy. A pair of incised lines runs the length of the dart, angling and converging at the center of the point. Similar dart heads were used for spearing fish. The ivory has mottled with age and shows a warm, cloudy coloration.
