Large Oval Plaque for Scrimshaw - Mammoth Ivory

Now extinct, the Wooly Mammoth's remains are occasionally unearthed in the northern hemispheres with their long Ivory tusks in tact. Over the years, the Ivory has taken on a variety of colors including tans and grays which give it a totally unique grain. Scarce and difficult to find, this Ivory makes a truly unique piece of scrimshaw with a history all its own.
