Framed Alaska Dog Sled Walrus Tusk Scrimshaw
Offered in this lot we have a framed walrus ivory scrimshaw of an Alaska dog sled team originating from the late 1800's. The walrus ivory displays a wonderful detailed scrimshaw etching of a Alaskan dog sled musher skiing next to his four dog team. The background of the scrimshaw shows detailed mountains with a snow covered landscape. The ivory is set into a gilt gold frame with a tan cloth border around the ivory. The piece shows good condition overall with some light wear on the frame. The frame measures 6 1/4" wide by 4 7/8" tall with the ivory measuring 1 7/8" wide by 3/4" tall.
