Sperm whale tooth in resin, engraved and hollowed out into a - Lot 322
Sperm whale tooth in resin, engraved and hollowed out into a rectangular cavity closed by a lid. This type of engraving is called "scrimshaw". Engraved decoration of a three-master "ship romulus" and on the back of a woman holding a rose "dearest rose" dated October 1832. Length: 16 cm Warning: this object is legal to sell, as it is an antique work dating back over 150 years. However, its trade is subject to very strict export restrictions, and an import ban to certain countries cannot be ruled out. If you wish to export it from Europe, you will need to contact the authorities, at your own expense.
