Antique Scrimshaw of a Whale That Was "Mostly There"

£290

A piece of whale-tooth scrimshaw, late-19th-century New Bedford workmanship; depicts a whale rendered in considerable detail except for its rear third, which the artist appears to have abandoned.

Notes

The carver's name (B. Wycombe) appears on the underside, followed by the word "enough".
