Compass Rose Bone Box

Inspired by the traditional art of scrimshaw—first practiced by sailors aboard New England whaling ships—this antique reproduction bone box celebrates one of America’s earliest art forms. Each piece is carefully etched with intricate designs on genuine ox bone for an authentic, timeless look.

Measuring approximately 3¼" x 3¼" x 2", this box is perfect for holding jewelry, keys, and small keepsakes. Natural ox bone tiles are inlaid on a durable wood-composite base and finished with a felt-lined interior.

Subtle variations in the ox bone enhance the character and individuality of each box, ensuring no two are exactly alike. Sealed with bone powder and epoxy, lacquer-coated, and hand-polished for a smooth, lasting finish.
