Spotted Seal on Bone BaseView more work by Warren Kakoona
The inlay and scrimshaw work on this seal are outstanding. The larger black spots are inlaid baleen, while the more numerous smaller dots are scrimshaw. The seal is ivory and set on a piece of whale bone with carved notches around its perimeter.
