Description: A large tooth from an even larger whale has been decorated all the way around with attractive maritime themed scenes. An expert scrimshander has included a simplistic map of the Circle Sea and Rim Ocean. There is also an intricate whaling scene where, amidst a frothy ocean, a tiny dinghy is dwarfed alongside a massive, mighty whale that has been harpooned with several long roped javelins. It is an excellent example of simple folksy art.
Appraise: The engraved whale tooth is about six inches long and about three inches wide. It is made of bone.
Weight: 8/9 lb
Value: A$18.75
