Product Description
A sailor-style Lady Liberty engraved on ancient mammoth tusk by Barbara Cullen
This Lady Liberty scrimshaw on mammoth tusk is an original by local artist Barbara Cullen. Engraved in a bold, sailor-style design, Lady Liberty stands among American flags and a flowing banner on a tall section of genuine ancient mammoth tusk.
The sailor style draws on the patriotic imagery sailors carried in tattoos and scrimshaw for generations. The tusk's natural blue-green and brown bark frames the engraving, and the piece stands upright on a turned wood base.
