Rare 20th c Scrimshaw Pendant in Sterling with Chain ring hybrid glass lensA gorgeous hand carved striking portrait of two hands holding rope in organic bone, this special carving is both uncommon in scale and subject. This piece was welcomed lovingly into my collection, as I had a predilection for etched, inked, and gothic jewels, particularly ones with interesting chains. This pendant does not disappoint with a wonderful sterling reverse and clasped praying hands. I am excited to see where he will journey next. Materials
