A Fine and Rare Whale's Jawbone Beautifully Scrimshawed and dated 1909.

SOLD

Perhaps the finest piece of whaler's art to come onto the market this year. Weighing over 22 pounds and measuring 50", this outstanding piece of jawbone taken from a Bowhead whale in the Bering Sea in 1909 has some of the best scrimshaw that I have seen in quite a while. Great overall patina and absolutely original in every respect. A must own for any serious collector of whaling art!!
