INUNNGUAQ

INUNNGUAQ - where ancient art meets daily self expression!

Hand carved INUNNGUAQ drop necklace made from Woolly Mammoth tusk. A quirky, fun design in the gorgeous pale, golden hues unique to mammoth tusk. One side is detailed, the other flat, so you can reverse this piece for a different look!

INUNNGUAQ is a type of indigenous marker called a Inukshuk and in the Arctic region they're used to mark caches or point the way. The INUNNGUAQ is a human-shaped stone structure built by Inuit and other Arctic peoples. These were generally used to mark a place of significance.

We had our mammoth material carbon dated to get an accurate measure of its age. The testing was done for us by GNS Science, a New Zealand Crown Research Institute and New Zealand's leading provider of Earth, geoscience and isotope research - so their assessment of this material is as accurate as is possible using radiocarbon dating technology.  

Watch the short video to get a sense of their shape and the lovely material they're made from.

We provide this piece with a Sterling Silver chain - if you would like an adjustable cord instead, please let us know in the comments section at the checkout.

INUNNGUAQ is lovingly packaged in one of our woven kete pouches.

Tracked Worldwide Shipping is included in the price.
