Product Description
A common loon engraved on a sperm whale tooth by Brian Kiracofe
This loon scrimshaw on sperm whale tooth was a custom piece by Brian Kiracofe, a departure from his usual nautical subjects. It shows a common loon resting on still water, its checkered back and striped neck engraved in fine, dense detail.
Kiracofe rarely works on whole whale teeth, and this commission became a favorite of both the artist and the customer. The tooth rests on a wooden stand, shown here with the reference photograph used for the design. This piece is available for in-store purchase only.
