A walrus ivory chopstick, a long slender cylinder, stands vertically. The single tool tapers gradually from its rounded top toward a blunt point at the base. Smooth, polished bone makes the tool, its surface a warm cream color with subtle darker marks near the upper end. Throughout its length, the chopstick maintains a mostly uniform, sleek shape, highlighting the dense and natural texture of the material.
