Mom and Baby Humpbacks

Photo-etching brings out the knobby tubercles along the mother humpback's head and the long, pale pectoral fins that define this species. The two whales are etched together inside an oval frame, showing a calf traveling right alongside its mother as they would on their annual migration to polar feeding grounds. Both the warm gold-tone brass and the sterling silver versions use fine line work to give these ocean giants a sense of quiet motion.
