Product Description
A striped bass engraved on ancient mammoth ivory by David Smith
This striped bass scrimshaw by David Smith shows New England's favorite game fish in fine detail, engraved on a curved section of ancient woolly mammoth ivory. The fish is touched with subtle color along its stripes and fins.
The ivory's rust-brown bark forms a natural frame around the engraving, and the piece sits on a flat natural stone base. It is a fine gift for anglers and a handsome piece for a den or office.
