Product Details

THE JOY OF BOOKS PIN was designed by scrimshaw artist Kim McClelland and translated onto polymer resin. Considered America's only indigenous art form outside of Native American crafts, the art of scrimshaw was practiced by 19th-century whalers during their sea voyages. Images were cut into whale teeth or walrus tusks and then inked to leave designs much like those on printing plates. Pin measures approximately 1" high x 1.50" wide.
