A pair of walrus bookends, each featuring a seated walrus figure mounted to a tiered ovoid base. The walruses are carved from a dark, dense wood displaying a prominent linear grain pattern consistent with palm wood?, with deeply incised striations following the body contours to simulate skin folds. The figures are depicted in a mirrored, upright seated posture with heads turned slightly towards the centre. Each walrus is set with two cream-coloured tusks, likely fashioned from bone? / composite material?. The figures are secured to tiered, polished hardwood bases with a rounded leading edge and a dark lustrous finish.
