Original signed by artist scrimshaw art piece. The title of this piece is Bent ..not broken. The engraving itsself is set on black matting in a detailed wood frame. Scrimshaw is a nautical engraving art indigenous to America. Sailors on board whaling ships "scrimmed" designs on whale teeth and bones using a sharp tool (It actually was coined a thrifty waste of time). Ink or oil and soot were then rubbed into the cuts and wiped away to reveal the incised image. Tree of Life still uses this basic process. Kim and Katherine McClelland with The Tree of Life Art are the artists.
