DescriptionWooden spoon with carved figure handle. The figure is very tall - hands on knees. The spoon basin is shallow and pointed, and a ridge extends from the bas3e of the handle along the bottom of the gasin, ending about halfway to the tip. The base has a band of simple geometric design around it, matching that around the crown of the figure's head. The eyes are a rounded diamond shape with a slit, a small mouth, and large ears. The body's arms are long, as is his neck.
