DescriptionCarved wooden spoon - the handle is comprised of a seated figured with its knee drawn up and arms folded on top of them. He has a long flat nose, prominent ears, and a brow ridge above two sllit eyes. He wears a cap with what appears to be two intersecting circles on top, flat side facing forward. His toes appear to be angled downward over the base. The bowl is deep and rounded, coming to a soft point in front. A ridge extends down the back of the spoon from the base of the carving to under the widest part of the bowl.
