DescriptionWood walking stick with rounded head made from sperm whale tooth.Label TextThis cane, with a rounded head made from a sperm whale tooth, alludes to the art of scrimshaw- engravings and carvings made of bone or ivory. Historically, decoratively carved scrimshaw is associated with whalers, but cane heads and handles made of whale teeth were common throughout the 19th century.ProvenancePrior to 2020, Keith W.
