- Material
- Hand-carved mammoth ivory with hand-carved and painted ornamentation; teal leather straps
- Size
- Universal — adjustable by teal leather straps
- Craftsmanship
- Fully handmade — carved, detailed, and finished by hand with respect to traditional Arctic craftsmanship. Mammoth ivory is a fossilized material preserved in the permafrost of Sakha (Yakutia) for tens of thousands of years, gathered ethically by Indigenous Sakha people as part of the land's natural cycle.
- Characteristics
- Made as a fully functional piece for extreme winter conditions, suitable for temperatures down to −60 °C / −76 °F. Designed to protect the eyes from snow glare and wind. Each piece carries natural variations in tone and structure formed by time and earth.
For the Sakha people, mammoth ivory has long been shaped into tools, amulets, and protective forms. What once rested beneath the earth comes back into use through careful hands, continuing a relationship between land, craft, and survival.
Arrives in a dense cotton wrap case stamped with the URSUUNA mark, designed to protect and honor the piece like an artifact.
