Ship Ahoy

I'm still going through my back catalogue of photographs and finding pieces that I'd forgotten about. This piece was inspired by scrimshaw and was part of my 2005 exhibition Treasure Trove of the Princess Mirabelle( small yellow plum) I'm working on another ship engraving at the moment so I'm revisiting my previous pieces.
 Fine silver, sterling silver, black jade beads with pyrite, 2005.
