Thoughtful Silverback

“Thoughtful Silverback” black and white scrimshaw on rare blue ancient mammoth ivory tusk bark by David Smith. Silverback seems to be quite serious, perhaps thinking about his well hidden group. This piece of ivory is simply amazing with the rare blue tones and, also, it is very thick with no checks whatsoever. Scrimshander, Smith, has used the ivory to the very best advantage. Stunning cocobolo stand completes the picture.
