King of the Mountains

“King of the Mountains” black and white scrimshaw on ancient walrus tusk ivory artifact by David Adams. First rate composition by talented scrimshander, Adams. One’s attention is drawn to the center with the soaring eagle, then to the right picking up the almost hidden waterfall. Finally, one sees the enormous eagle’s head with the piercing eye. The eagle’s sight is astounding as they can see an rabbit from two to three miles away! This ancient walrus tusk was used as an ice axe by natives in the Northern Bering Sea area hundreds of years ago. Museum quality condition and it weighs 2 lbs., 5 oz.!  Very few of these around today. From one of our clients who is no longer with us. Everything works on this one.
