An interesting array of whaleman’s art with the triple scrimshaw teeth set in a wood & baleen base before a panbone with a scrimshaw image of a top-sail schooner. The panbone has an artistic fret-cut edge to its top, while the baleen edges the wood face.The three smaller whale teeth are scrimshawed with figures of a Grecian-type figure with a spear wearing a crown of sorts next to a hunting hound, a sailor-type holding some kind of rod or staff, and a woman in a draping gown watching for her mate’s return, holding aloft a possible torch.
