Description

Small carved wooden spoon with a body of a killer whale as the handle; oval shaped bowl. The mammal has black detailing, carved teeth and a protruding dorsal fin. This spoon is carved in a light hardwood, and elaborated with black stripes, stipples, dots, and dashes.

Narrative

This spoon bears a strong resemblance to other utensils by the same hand in the MOA collection as well as MOV and RBCM. Despite much of the pigment being worn away from this spoon, other features such as the relief carving of the eyes and deep carving of the teeth conform to other known Elwitt spoons, especially RBCM 19205 and 9725. Please also compare to MOA objects A8557, 2713/21, 2713/22, 2713/23, 2713/24, 2713/25, 2713/26, 2713/27, MOV object AA 1851, and RBCM objects 18818, 18959, 20003,19195.
