Stoic But Very Empathetic Inuit Stone Carved Sea Lion with Chunky Flippers design learningblocks set there are some dark marksI believe a sea lion, with these wonderfully large, chunky front and back flippers, flapping down the side of his perch, feeling completely one with it. Good from both sides, and wonderfully narrowing to a point at front but I think my favorite view is from the top, revealing the lush mass of his body! Really a good one I think, with what looks to be a disc number as well perhaps as syllabics carved into the underside. 5 1 2" x 2 3 8" x 2 1 4" t. A
