Large Scrimshaw engraved Whalebone Busk c 19th cent

$0.00

SIZE
15 1/4”

DESCRIPTION
Unusually large and possibly early 19th cent based on dress. Elaborately scratch engraved with six panels which are probably allegorical from maker’s domestic world. I like the little dog at the top and the one in which his wife is evicting him with a frying pan (or whatever).

CONDITION
Very Good. Examine photos.
