Wooden spoon with leaf-shaped bowl and short handle. At one end the bowl curves upwards and bends to form the straight handle. The end of the handle is rounded and a hole has been drilled in it. The bottom of the spoon is rounded. The spoon is a dark brown colour and the handle darker than the rest of the spoon.
Along the Northwest Coast, in general, undecorated spoons of wood and horn were used in everyday life, while more elaborately carved versions were used on special occassions. The bowls of these spoons are too large to place in the mouth, so food is sipped from the sides or the end.
