Spoon c. 19th century

This 19th century Tlingit spoon is a beautiful example of Native American art. The spoon is made of wood and has a distinctive long, pointed handle and a wide, rounded bowl. This type of spoon would have been used for eating and serving food, and would have been a prized possession in the Tlingit community. The Tlingit people are known for their skilled woodworking, and this spoon is a testament to their artistry. It is currently part of the collection at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
