Watching Osprey

“Watching Osprey” mainly black and white scrimshaw on sperm whale’s tooth by talented unknown artist. Very nice work with a touch of color on the tree branch. From the collection of one of our clients who is no longer with us. Do not know where or when he came across this gem, however. Tooth is in excellent condition, but the weight is unknown as it is firmly glued into the tooth’s base. Mounted on a large cocobolo base. Tooth is probably around 3/4 of a pound estimated guess.
