A Dead Whale or a Stove Boat

“A Dead Whale or a Stove Boat” black and white scrimshaw on ancient walrus tusk ivory artifact by Dan Cronan. Ivory used as an ice axe or digging tool by people in the Northern Bering Sea area 500 to 1000 years ago. This is from the collection of one of our clients who is no longer with us. Not much ivory of this caliber around today. Note that it was created in 2002. Scrimshander is known for excellent black and white nautical scenes. Quote is from Moby Dick. Rare opportunity to obtain a first rate Cronan scrimshaw for 2002 prices.
