A most interesting and colourful blond whalebone stay busk, having all over intricate engraved designs contained in four panels, incorporating flower leaves, love birds, a heart under a tree with a sailing ship and various other motifs. The border, with a zig zag and diamond design, is all coloured in red and green pigments. It is a love token probably made by a sailor while serving on a whaling ship.
