Description: This stunning 19th-century Northwest Coast Native horn spoon is a prime example of traditional Indigenous craftsmanship. The top totemic section is intricately carved from mountain goat horn, while the bowl is likely made from Dall sheep horn, showcasing the incredible artistry of the Tlingit, Haida, or Tsimshian peoples. Measuring over 8 inches in length and 4 inches across the bowl, this horn spoon is both a functional object and a work of art. The totemic carvings on the handle reflect the deep cultural and spiritual symbolism of the Northwest Coast peoples, while the materials used indicate the high status and value of the object. Please not that the lower sheep horn has a slight bow- see photos for details. The spoon is in excellent condition for its age, with minimal wear that is consistent with a piece of this age and use. This is a rare and exceptional artifact, perfect for serious collectors of Native American or ethnographic art. Similar items have sold for significant sums at major auctions- collectors will know that items of this quality are rarely available. The item includes a custom display stand, making it ideal for both display and preservation. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or for additional details. Serious offers only — I will not consider low-ball offers as I am not in a hurry to sell.
