An old fisherman with a pipe, engraved on mammoth ivory by David Smith
This fisherman scrimshaw on mammoth ivory by David Smith is a detailed portrait of an old salt in a sou'wester hat, pipe in his mouth and a knit sweater at his collar. It is engraved on genuine ancient woolly mammoth ivory, about 4 inches tall.
Smith's fine stippling and shading bring out the weathered face and the texture of the fisherman's gear, while the ivory's natural bark forms an arched frame. The piece rests on a natural stone base.
