About the Item

Beautiful and affecting, this hand carved wood ladle -- a masterpiece of folk art showing the influence of modern Art Deco motifs -- depicts two American Indian figures in profile, each carved in low relief, framed by chevrons and other modern elements. Each of the two Native American figures sports a headdress and feather, and one is holding a long peace pipe. The carving is excellent, and the wood has a fine grain that permitted the carver to bring great detail to his work.
