A pair of decorative bookends, each featuring a seated walrus figure. The figures are rendered with a highly textured surface detail representing skin folds and fur, finished in a dark brown tone with lighter highlights on the raised ridges to simulate the appearance of carved wood. The figures are constructed from a moulded composite or resin material. Each figure is depicted in an upright, alert posture and features two prominent cream-coloured tusks made of a contrasting pale-coloured composite material. The figures are mounted onto L-shaped, dark-stained wooden bases with rounded front edges and a visible grain. No maker’s marks, signatures, factory stamps, or labels are visible on the exterior surfaces.
