Vigilant Captain

“Vigilant Captain” black and white scrimshaw on ancient mammoth ivory tusk tip by Jim Pauls. Known for his exacting straight line work, Pauls has created another gem. He often puts people in his artwork and this sharp  eyed Captain is a fine example of Pauls’ work. This stern man is looking forward, probably in more ways than one. Ever vigilant, the captain is planning his net move. This is a rare mammoth tip that has excellent color. This is from a client who is no longer with us. Mounted on a classic stand by the late Ken Fredericks.
