1625128472Code 633B ScrimshawScrimshaw of an engraved whale tooth, of fine workmanship from the first half of the 19th century, length 14.3 cm, depicting a war scene between 2 brigantines and 2 boats with whalers at sea and islands in the background. The back of the tooth has the following incision THE CSS ALABAMA ATTACKING THE WHALER FORTITUDE. Very good condition. Cm 14.3X5.1X4.2 - inches 5.62x2x1.65.

The word "scrimshaw" refers to an art form and to the different products of this art, born on board American whaling ships between 1745 and 1759 as a way to occupy time during the long leisure hours on board; this form of craft developed through a process of engraving and carving whale bones and teeth, making objects both usable in everyday life and ornamental, which are usually made as souvenirs for family members.

The object can only be sold in the EU (being a 'worked’ antique object made before 1947 it can be sold within EU without CITES certificate).
