Cribbage Game Board3158/1

Cribbage board made of tusk. Board retains the shape of the tusk, wide at one end, tapering and curving to a point at the other, with sides and top squared. A scrimshaw scene of Herschel Island appears on one side, showing a small village with wood buildings in the foreground, the masts of ships in the mid-ground, and low hills in the distance. The other side shows a hunting scene with a man hoisting a rifle to bring down a deer. Behind him are a tent, boat, dog, and fishing pole, along with rolling hills. The board’s top has a configuration of small drilled holes for the insertion of crib peg. Flowers and foliage decorate the surface, and the year "1906” is caved at centre. The tusk’s butt holds a door with two short handles, opening to reveal a carved interior chamber made for holding crib pegs. The board is held up by four short legs, two of tusk, the others of wood and rubber.

Harpoon3128/3 a-b

East Greenland harpoon. Part a is a long, straight, wooden shaft, squared at the bottom where it is capped with a cut square of tusk, and narrowing along its length toward the tip. At the shaft’s midpoint several holes are bored into the wood, in which are inserted a hook and nubs of bone. The harpoon’s head is made from carved narwhal tusk, its shape long and rounded, thicker through middle and narrowing at end where a small piece is attached. Part b is an intricately designed throwing board. The board is rectangular, thin in profile, and concave on its underside. The base is wide, narrowing to tip where a shaped piece of bone is inset. Along the board’s upper surface are nailed 41 tiny seals carved from bone. Narrow strips of bone line the edges. The throwing board has three holes along the body that allow it to attach to the harpoon shaft by the nubs and hook.
