Ladle c. 19th century

This 19th-century wooden ladle is a simple yet functional example of folk art. Carved from a single piece of wood, the ladle features a deep, rounded bowl and a long, curved handle. The patina of the wood and the slightly worn bowl indicate that it was likely used for a long time. The Ladle is a testament to the skill and resourcefulness of anonymous craftspeople, highlighting the practical artistry of everyday objects.
