Imagine it's springtime in the north Pacific Ocean when most sea otter pups are born. They'll hitch a ride on mother’s chest while she swims on her back. Fur is ultra dense, fluffy and buoyant so pups cannot dive on their own. They are dependent on mother for the first six months of their lives. The devoted mom nurses, cleans and grooms the baby. She'll teach it to gather its own food too. Justin Red Elk's wonderful sea otter mother, older sibling and pup float along at about 3 1/8" long, 1 1/8" wide and 1" tall. Little pup is carved from alabaster while the other aquatic creatures are sculpted from pipestone and fish rock serpentine. Expressive eyes are from jet inlays.
