This broad-bowled ladle appears to be of sheep horn. The bowl and shank of the handle have been worked very thin and shaped by steaming and bending. The finial of the handle is left with its natural curve and carved to represent a bear-like creature and a bird. Both have eyes of abalone shell. (Holm, Crooked Beak of Heaven, 1972)
