FIJIAN TABUA with its original sennet/coconut fibre necklace. About the nicest of these I've ever come across. Great, naturally shaped, sperm whale tooth that is near solid and perfectly smoothed so it would be comfortable while resting against a person's chest. 5 3/4" l. x 3 1/4"w. Condition excellent. Has a remarkable deep age patina throughout. One side with the letter "M" scratched on it. As usual the necklace has been reattached to the holes at each end of the tooth. This example truly represents what one would expect a well used example to look like. Not a rough or jagged edge on it. Very fine.
We are always interested in purchasing nautical antiques. If you are selling one piece or your entire collection we would appreciate hearing from you.
