Replica Type: Whale Tooth | Type: Scrimshaw |
From an estate, a very nice faux whale tooth scrimshaw engraving of a sailor's sweetheart, probably his wife and their home. Wonderful 18th century styling. Tooth is about 4" tall, mounted on a heavy display that is about 8.5" overall. Very nice condition. Some age staining gives it a wonderful patina. The carving is very well done, with fine details and a well laid-out scene.
