Spoon Item Number: H1.276 from the MOA: University of British Columbia
Description
An ornately carved wooden spoon--the bowl is literally carved in the shape of a bowl, with the base of the handle carved to resemble a hand grasping the bowl's rim. The top of the handle forms a large loop, with two small carved hands where the loop closes clutching the main section of the handle. A section of shallow carving near the top of the looped handle features zigzagging designs and the initial "T."
