This attractive spoon with an ornate incised
handle is carved in a high Oceanic style, with
curvilinear design and geometric incisions
down to a wide bowl. The wood is light in
colour and dense in composition. It has a
glossy use patina. The place of origin is
difficult to ascertain but is probably Papua
New Guinea, maybe the Sepik River area.
