More model informationThis whale tooth is engraved with an image of an Australian legend, coat of arms and poem. The inscription details how the tooth was removed from a whale that produced 128 barrels of oil and was captured in Australian waters in July 1821. It was carved in England but the artist was probably onboard the whaling expedition.
