Product Description
A whaling scene by Gerry Dupont, engraved on an antique Arctic sled runner
This Gerry Dupont whaling scene sled runner shows a whaleboat crew closing on a whale, with a tall ship under sail behind them. The scene is engraved on an antique sled runner from the Arctic, set on a weathered driftwood base.
Sled runners were once shaped from ivory or bone for travel over snow and ice. Dupont's classic whaling composition gives this historic object a second life as maritime art.
