Aphrodite Rising From the Sea

“Aphrodite Rising From the Sea” black and white scrimshaw on ancient walrus tusk ivory by Darrell Morris. Greek goddess of love and beauty rises from the sea foam, a fully grown woman. Morris’ depiction of this myth is simply perfection, from the foam to the light illuminating her face and hair. This one has it all. Discerning collectors seldom, if ever, let a piece like this go on the open market. It is from one of our collectors who is no longer with us, but he always had impeccable taste. Ivory was used as some type of tool hundreds of years ago in the Northern Bering sea area. Stand by the late Ken Fredericks completes the picture.

Woman in White

David Admas Scrimshaw - Woman in White

“Woman in White” color scrimshaw on ancient walrus tusk ivory by David Adams. Etherial portrait of a beautiful woman in white, somewhere in an opening deep in the forest. Sunlight illuminates her expressive upturned face. One can only wonder what thoughts she has at this moment. This took a great deal of work by Adams. Not easy to completely black out the background, leaving just enough for the touch of green leaves and branches. Love the coloring of the moss covered boulder upon which she is perched. Beautiful, touching work by one of the best working today. Very heavy piece of ancient walrus tusk ivory, by the way. Custom stand completes the picture.
