Scrimshaw Whale’s Tooth Replica – Nautical Ship & Whale Scene – Signed “Frank” – Wooden Base

Add a touch of maritime history to your collection with this beautiful scrimshaw-style whale’s tooth replica. Expertly etched in the traditional nautical style, the piece depicts a tall sailing ship under full sail with a breaching whale in the foreground. The work is signed “Frank” and rests securely on a custom wooden display base.
