Resin scrimshaw-style whale tooth with engraved sailing ship decoration. The design is inspired by 19th-century sailor scrimshaw, roughly 1820s–1880s, when whalemen and seamen carved whale teeth, bone, and ivory with ships, portraits, and maritime scenes during long voyages.
This example is a modern resin reproduction made for nautical display, coastal décor, or cabinet-of-curiosities styling.
