About this piece
A spoon, taller than a man at his hip.
Zulu carvers of South Africa made this figurative spoon in wood in the 20th century. Long wooden spoons and ladles are commonly used in Zulu households for serving and are often given carved detail. This one is a very long, slim handle that swells into a polished knob and ridged ring halfway down, and ends at the top in a small oval bowl. The wood is a rich, glossy red-brown, with an even sheen. It stands on a small black base.
About 59 inches long. An elegant line, and a tall order for any shelf.
