Female Pirate Attacks!

“Female Pirate Attacks!” black and white scrimshaw on ancient mammoth ivory bark by David Adams. Yes, there were female pirates, but none this attractive. Incredible work by Adams here, She seems to almost jump off the ivory, her fierce expression striking fear into the most formidable enemy. Note the detail on the sword’s hilt and the detail of her gloved right hand. Adams has created something special with his depiction of these female pirates.
