Pirates Boarding!

“Pirates Boarding!” black and white scrimshaw on ancient walrus tusk ivory artifact by Jim Pauls. The only pirate scene we have ever seen from Pauls. From the collection of one of our clients who is no longer with us. Interesting artifact used as a sled runner by people in the Northern Bering Sea area. A ton of action in this one. Looks like the pirates will board, but no one knows the final outcome. Rare piece, indeed.
