Vintage Set of Three Adorable Scrimshaw Brooches Two with Birds and One with Two Fishes
This adorable set of three unique brooches is hand-made of hand-painted bovine bone in colorful scrimshaw style. Two of them depict birds. One depicts two fishes.
The primitive, innocent style of the paintings is so endearing.
The bird motif ones are approximately the same size and measure 1 3/8″ wide by 1 5/16″. The fish motif one is 2 1/16″ wide by 1 1/2″ tall.
The condition is excellent. There are no marks. They are very well made. Perhaps Pacific Northwest in origin.I love these. They always make me smile, and I am sure you will experience the same.
