Leo Reigns Supreme

“Leo Reigns Supreme” color scrimshaw on ancient mammoth tusk ivory bark by David Adams. Venerable lion has an expression that says he has seen it all. Probably true and no one would doubt the king of the jungle at this point in his life. Adams really nails it with this one. Love the way the shadows fall on the mane and face. He sets it off with a light background of blue stipple. Masterful touch, indeed. This is done on a very thick piece of first rate mammoth ivory. Great work by one of the best working today.
