Painted Whales Eardrum antique ear drum %%alt5%%
A painted whale's eardrum bone. This small, dense bone, which fits into the palm of a hand, came from a mature sperm whale. Sailors would often paint them with faces and hats as souvenirs to sell on shore. This typical example with walrus moustache and Scots guard hat will probably date from the turn of the 20th century. 13cm long. Please contact me for postage information. Postage to mainland UK is often free. Mark
