Description
4 piece antique shell carving art. These are the works of an artist signed as Seth from the 1920 it was considered novelty gifts he would carve on shells oyster shells and coral different images and sell to the tourist as they passed by a master carver whittler artist for the time his work as resurfaced . The shell unkept we're dry and brittle some of the detailing lost and at times hard to see and very difficult to photograph . first photo is skeletons dancing the second / third photo depicts Mount Rushmore as you can make out the faces the 4th oyster and 5thas of much of his work are double sided there are more and pricing has been difficult as I've seen no other works of this size anywhere I am open to offers as I would like to share this history and preserve the art . Shells need oiled and cared for as any other cameo does
