Description
Native American Iroquois Wooden Ladle 19th Century
A fine old Native American Woodland carved wooden ladle, probably Iroquois, with a broad rounded bowl and long, elegantly shaped handle. Beautifully worn through years of use, it has developed a wonderful rich chestnut patina, with natural grain, surface marks and darkened areas adding to its primitive character and appeal.
An evocative example of early Native American folk art with superb age and honest, well-used condition. Old cracks, wear and imperfections commensurate with age and use.
Eastern woodlands probably Iroquois
19th century and earlier
