Pride of Lions

“Pride of Lions” color scrimshaw on ancient walrus tusk ivory artifact by Matt Stothart. This gang looks like they are spending a lazy afternoon together, probably after a big meal. Veteran scrimshander, Stothart, has used the natural color of the ivory to match the coloring of the pride. Nice touch. Ivory used as an ice axe by ancient people in the Northern Bering Sea area hundreds and hundreds of years ago. From the collection of one of our clients who is no longer with us. Nice stand completes the picture.
