The outline of this ivory toggling harpoon head is punctuated in several places by raised points, enhancing its beauty as well as its aura of barbed lethality. A skillfully etched design of spurred lines and small circle-and-dot motifs decorates the ivory surface, surrounding the triangular line hole and spearing toward the harpoon’s tip. The placement of a trio of ring motifs in the forward portion of the head invokes the image of a human face, infusing the greater whole with a subtle sense of anthropomorphism.
