Scrimshaw is scrollwork, engravings, and carvings done in bone or ivory. Typically it refers to the artwork created by whalers, engraved on the byproducts of whales, such as bones or cartilage. It is most commonly made out of the bones and teeth of sperm whales, the baleen of other whales, and the tusks of walruses. WikipediaWould this be considered scrimshaw?

I thought I posted to all did you not get the pics I posted recentlySomething to reference size and an end pic would be helpful.
Yes I believe that's correct . However did you see the illustration with what looks to be a Asian on a raft of some kind and then dry land so my question is how old it could be.
