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.
