Notes

This was originally tagged as from Africa, but there is no documentation that supports this claim. In searching for images of related items, most anthropomorphic spoons came from the Philippines. Since George also collected items from Philippines and this would be the only item George collected from Africa with the exception of a Zulu shield, easily attributable to that tribe, it is unlikely this is an African artifact. Philippines is more likely. Index does not indicate affiliation
