A most unusual whale tooth. Dating to the mid-twentieth century, probably related to the whale fishery that was re-established in the South Atlantic and South Pacific by the likes of Aristotle Onassis. It takes the form of a picture frame with a relief-carved penguin pediment. The original photographs of a man and a woman are still in situ.
Probably unique.
