Rooted in the traditions of New England sailors, scrimshaw is one of the few art forms that originated in America. This antique-style scrimshaw box is crafted from genuine ox bone, etched with intricate designs, and inlaid on a durable wood-composite base. Measuring 3 ¼" x 3 ¼" x 2", it features a lift-off lid and a green felt-lined interior, perfect for jewelry, keys, or keepsakes. Each box is hand-polished to enhance the natural coloring and striations of the bone, with slight variations making every piece one-of-a-kind. Finished with bone powder, epoxy, and lacquer, it’s both functional and collectible, a small treasure steeped in maritime history.
