Inuit Scrimshaw Walrus Ivory Easel

This is an informal walrus ivory easel created by an Inuit carver with scrimshaw designs on it. The vertical feet of the easel are two small walrus tusks, each of which has a scrimshawed image of a seal and a walrus head.  It is an interesting and informal easel to put one of your favorite photos on or a small painting. This will be an unusual piece in any collection.
