Oosik Equality Stickers (Walrus Penis Bones)
Oosik Equality Stickers (Walrus Penis Bones)
PENIS!
Yes you read that right. These are PENISES in parallel configuration. I created this sticker to connect to the movement of supporting equal rights for LBGTQ people in Anchorage, AK. At the time there was opposition and I felt a need to connect my value and cultural roots to a movement of Equality. So I brought the equal and oosiks together. This sticker will help share the message of Equality to all.
OOSIK EQALITY!
Information about what an OOSIK is:
Oosik is a term used in Native Alaska cultures to describe the bacula of walruses, seals, sea lions, whales, and polar bears. Sometimes as long as 60 cm (24 in), fossilized bacula are often polished and used as a handle for knives and other tools. The oosik is a polished and sometimes carved baculum of these large northern carnivores.
Oosiks are also sold as tourist souvenirs. In 2007, a 4.5 ft-long (1.4 m) fossilized penis bone from an extinct species of walrus, believed by the seller to be the largest in existence, was sold for $8,000.[45]
