Whaler Drying Sails

“Whaler Drying Sails” black and white scrimshaw on ancient walrus tusk ivory artifact by Gerry Dupont. Peaceful depiction of drying sails by returning whaler. Several people, with nothing else to do, walk along the dock. An old salt sits alone, remembering his past voyages. Award winning scrimshander, Dupont, really tells a story with this gem. Walrus tusk was used as some sort of scraper or digging tool hundreds of years ago in the Northern Bering Sea area. Fine work here.
