Sperm whale tooth in resin, engraved and hollowed out into a - Lot 323
Sperm whale tooth in resin, engraved and hollowed out into a rectangular cavity closed by a lid. This type of engraving is known as "scrimshaw". Engraved decoration of a three-master "ship Mercator" and on the back "woman holding a lyre". Length: 17 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 the work is to be exported from the European Union, it will have to be cleared with the authorities, at the exclusive expense of the future buyer.
