This cow horn carved with Masonic decoration dates from the 19th century and is set to make up to £450 when sold at auction.
The pillars, square, level, compasses and other symbols are a type of land-based Scrimshaw.
On the back is a band of flowers with thistles and a hand around a cartouche engraved J N Clark.
It is about 17 inches long and is being sold by Philip Serrell on March 19.
