Product Description
Two woolly mammoths in battle, engraved on the tusk of their own kind
This mammoth fight scene scrimshaw by local artist Dan Cronan shows two woolly mammoths locked in combat across an open plain. It is engraved on a section of genuine fossilized mammoth tusk, with the natural bark left as a frame around the scene.
Cronan's fine line work captures the shaggy coats and curved tusks of the animals against a distant ridge, a fitting subject for material that came from the same Ice Age giants. The tusk rests on a round wood base for display.
