This Tlingit charm, carved from bone, dates back to the late 19th century. The piece showcases a stylized animal form with intricate details carved into its surface. Its small size and the presence of a hole suggest that it may have been worn as a pendant or amulet. The charm is currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, and is a testament to the skillful artistry and cultural traditions of the Tlingit people.
