Beautifully engraved Scrimshaw, replica of a walrus tusk from 1849
In the 19th century, a common pastime among sailors was the decoration of walrus tusks. They were engraved and taken home as trophies.

Remember Me, When This You See.
Condition: the tusk is entirely intact. The end was damaged to replicate the original tusk.
Length: 46 cm.
Max. diameter: 64 mm.
Weight: 800 g.
Material: Resin or imitiation ivory.
Shipping with PostNL, can also be picked up in Breda.
If you win multiple lots (in different auctions) you will only have to pay shipping costs (of the heaviest item) once.
