Product Description
A tall ship engraved on a walrus tusk crosscut, framed in wood
This framed walrus tusk crosscut scrimshaw shows a square-rigged ship under full sail, engraved on a thin crosscut slice of walrus tusk. The slice keeps its natural outline and is mounted on black velvet in a warm wooden frame.
Crosscut pieces show the inner structure of the tusk, and the engraver has used the smooth face to fit a full ship, rolling seas, and seabirds into a small space. At 4 by 3 by 1 inches, the frame stands on a desk or shelf or hangs on a small wall.
