Product Description
A breaching orca in multicolor scrimshaw on mammoth ivory by John Majak
This orca scrimshaw on mammoth ivory by John Majak of North Pole, Alaska, shows an orca bursting from the sea, water streaming from its body. The waves are finished in blue, while the whale's black and white markings stand out against the pale ivory.
Majak engraves the scene on a smooth, tapered section of mammoth ivory, set on a round wooden base. The mix of fine black line work and soft color gives the breach real energy, making it a centerpiece for any collection of Alaskan or marine art.
