We analyzed the formal properties of the whale tooth and we discussed the various images located on it. We elaborated on the historical context of the tooth and discussed what the society might have been like, for example their mode of transportation. We tried to find out if the piece was telling us a story or if it was showing their every day life. We didn’t ask questions about why this piece of work was located at this museum. We also didn’t talk about its presentation we just discussed the piece itself. We discussed in our video how we couldn’t see the bottom of the tooth and if it were possible we’d like to.
