Scrimshaw Folk Art Unusual Man Woman Face Etched Wood Trinket Box LK

Description

In beautiful condition, this vintage trinket box is handcrafted of wood, with a scrimshaw lid onto which is carved the face of either a male or a female, depending on your point of view. An unusual image for a scrimshaw trinket box. No damage to this box, a few very light scratches on the wood.
Measures 3 1/4" wide x 1 3/4" tall x 2" deep. Age unknown but has sat in a cupboard shelf for many years. Comes with the original little paper describing scrimshaw and how it's made. Please see photos as they are part of the description.
