19th-century Inuit artifact from the Bering Sea region, crafted from walrus ivory to depict a polar bear carrying its cub.

Yeah, sure, those totally look like polar bear faces and bodies....
Did the artist see any polar bears before carving this, or were they blind and working from verbal description?
Personally, I'm petty sure this is a normal example of 19th century porn.
