Originals of these ivory-like walrus teeth are very sought-after collector pieces. During their whaling trips the sailors used to leave the memories of their journeys on these teeth by using a fine needle and brought them home as souvenirs. This well-done reproduction of the symbol of old sailor-romanticism shows an old sailing boat, many whales and carries the following inscription: 1. THE WALER PRINCE. 1st MATE BPWERS. Taken from Dead Walrus Oct. 17 1844.
These "walrus teeth" are generated from an artistry cast and parallel the originals in their colour, structure and weight. Their exact measures are the following:
Length: 57 cm / 22.44 inches
Diameter: 7 cm x 4 cm / 2.75 x 1.57 inches
Weight: 2 kg / 4.4 pounds
