Lobster Claws Hand-carved Linoleum Print Block pre-columbian pottery which is how I figuredOne could certainly ink and use this to print lobster claws all over the place, but I like it just as an object, with these carved claws, like an old carved doll hand I recently listed, feeling as if forever grasping for something!
