Accession no.: Y: 62/15/32
Title: Scrimshaw
Description: Tooth 120 mm, monochrome. Soldier in tail coat (Pair to 62/15/60)
Object type: Scrimshaw
Classified name: 730.235 & 639.245.1
Number of items: 1
Full description:

Whole: With a geometric basal border and a lattice frame surmounted by a tiny bark within an arch. The barks seem to have been done freehand but the figures are crudely outlined in dots. The arrangment of the motifs resembles some of the "Ceres" artist's work, but they lack the quality. A soldier in a tail coat, light waistcoat with high collar, tight trousers, short boots with raised fronts and a bicorn hat.
