Horn Spoon25.0/296

The four figures on this spoon appear to be a sea bear with a man astride his dorsal fin, plus two more bears. Early spoons of this type appear not to have been polished since they retain the marks of the carving tool and the very crisp corners and planes that result from finishing with the tool. The handle and bowl are black streaked with gray and brown, the natural color of the horn. The bowl has been fitted into the hollow at the base of the carved handle and fastened in place with two rivets. (Holm, Crooked Beak of Heaven, 1972)
