Snow Leopard

$4,750.00

“Snow Leopard” color scrimshaw on ancient walrus tusk ivory artifact by Orana Tahl. Stunning work by well known Hawaiian  scrimshander, Orana. This was done in 1983 and is from the collection of one of our clients who is no longer with us. Walrus tusk was used as an ice axe hundreds of years ago. She was quite well known for her impressive wildlife scrimshaw and Native American portraits. This is mounted on a large stand complete with brass name plaque. It is quite rare to see any of her work on the market today as most collectors are loath to part with their prized pieces. Excellent opportunity to add a very rare piece, (done forty years ago) at 1983 prices!
