Color scrimshaw on ancient walrus tooth ivory by David Adams. Early morning and mist comes in from the forest surrounding a pond. The woodduck warms himself as the sun slowly burns away the mist. Love the way the artist has created this effect by gently making the base of the trees obscure in the vanishing mist. Great work on this one.
Color scrimshaw on pre-ban African ivory by David Adams. This seductive mermaid is basking in a sea of bubbles of all sizes and colors. Looks like she is casting quite a spell for any unwary mariners who happen to pass by. Creative work by Adams.
Notice:
This scrimshaw is done on pre-ban African ivory. Since the passage of the CITIES Treaty in 1973, there has been no African ivory brought into the U.S. However, ivory that was in the U.S. prior to 1973 can be legally sold and shipped within the U.S. However, new legislation taking effect in 2016 restricts pre-ban African Ivory from being shipped interstate. It can only legally be shipped intrastate, (within the state). All of our pre-ban ivory is located with our associate in the state of Florida. It can be purchased directly from our website and shipped only to an address within the state of Florida. If one has a relative, trusted friend or business associate within the state of Florida, we can ship to that specified address in order to comply with the new Federal legislation. The scrimshaw can then be forwarded it to you and everyone complies with the law. Any questions email or call us.
Black and white scrimshaw on pre-ban African ivory tip by David Adams. Fascinating young lady has an inquiring look on her face. As usual, this talented scrimshander has done another outstanding job. We don’t get many of these smaller tips, but whenever we do, the nudes seem to fit. Be sure to view the detail shots. The ivory itself is 3.5″ high, mounted on a well made stand of wenge. Great price for such fine work.
