Notes

Note - ethnography is based on the identification of this item as the "yellow cedar mukmuk" found on the attached item list. However, mukmuk is not a term that can be identified - mukluk is a boot and muktuk is a food. This spoon is visually similar to Filipino spoons, both in the HLG collection and in other museums' collections.
