Description:
Scrimshaw is America's only native art form — born on whaling ships out of New England, where sailors etched intricate designs into bone to pass the long hours at sea. This Compass Rose Scrimshaw Bone Box carries that tradition forward. Genuine ox bone tiles, hand-etched and hand-polished to bring out their natural striations and warmth, are inlaid on a solid base and finished with a green felt-lined interior. No two boxes are alike. It's the kind of piece that holds your jewelry, your keys, your keepsakes — and a little piece of American history.
