WWII Battle at Sea

“WWII Battle at Sea” color scrimshaw on ancient mammoth tusk ivory bark by Chris Lehwalder. Well known scrimshander, Lehwalder, has done several WWII battle scenes on larger walrus tusk pieces that sold to collectors for several thousands of dollars. Rare opportunity to add a Lehwalder battle scene at this bargain price. Japanese ship has just been hit by U.S. aircraft that can be seen on the top right side of the ivory. Battle is just beginning, but the winner is already known. This is from the extensive collection of one of our clients who is no longer with us.
