About the Item

An expressive and sculpturally carved antique wooden fork. This three-pronged utensil features an elongated neck and hand-engraved geometric patterns along the handle, suggesting both functional and decorative value. This piece may have been used for serving or even in ritual contexts. The wood has developed a rich patina over time, with subtle wear that speaks to its history and authenticity. Whether placed as part of a curated tabletop setting, displayed as a sculptural object, or collected as ethnographic art, this fork offers texture, history, and handmade beauty.
