Carved wooden spoon with double scrolls at head of handle.

Context

This is an equivocal piece; it is hand carved with a very distinct pair of double scrolls carved into the end of the handle. The curvature of the spoon is unlike most European derived designs. It will require much more research including a determination of the wood to begin to figure this object out.
