🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Could This Be An Eskimo Carving & What Stone Is it?

[Aquitaine]

The photos don't do the carving justice as it's white not as it appears in the pictures. It's quite solid and heavy, approx. 2 lbs., and there are only numbers on the bottom of it. Is it possible to find who the person might be that made it by the numbers? I'm also wondering what type of stone/mineral it might be if it is an eskimo carving? Thanks so much!

Possibly made from a soapstone of some sort

It does look to be soapstone.

The appears to be an artist monogram. If it’s using Inuit/Inuktitut syllabics it looks like it might be ᔭᐱ (Ja-Pi) but I couldn’t find it in any of the artist databases.
