Traditional Vintage Very Old Wooden Utility Baule Kitchen Tool

This vintage wooden tool 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 10" long (25 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.
