This vintage wooden ladle from central Ivory Coast was used for common "kitchen" (Africans don't have what we think of as a "kitchen") purposes by the Baule people who inhabit that part of Africa. This object was used for a long time and is therefore heavily patinated.

This spoon measures 12 3/4" long x 5 1/2" wide bowl (32 x 14 cm)

We photographed this object leaning against a stand more effectively to show it. However, we regret that this stand is NOT included with the purchase of this spoon.
