Ship’s Carpenter

“Ship’s Carpenter” black and white scrimshaw on ancient walrus tusk ivory artifact by James Lee. Excellent depiction of grizzled shipwright working on the Sunbeam. Nice detail with the tools in the handmade basket at his feet. Ivory used as a digging or scraping tool hundreds and hundreds of years ago. From the extensive collection of one of our clients who is no longer with us. Very well done.
