Sculpture
Antique Scrimshaw Sperm Whale Tooth
Primitive engraving of a three mast ship, initialed lower right "AT". Apprx 3-3/4"T. During long voyages many whale-men spent their idle time carving on the sperm whale teeth or bones, carving intricate scenes into the teeth and bones, rubbing their carvings with ink or soot. American whalers produced some of the finest scrimshaw.
We think this piece depicts a prison or slave ship.
Condition: Very nice.
