Ritual
Spoon
Ifugao, Philipines
19th Century
This is very rare example of it’s type. The beautifully carved embracing
figures on this spoon are executed in great detail. The faces are expressive
and the bodies seem to intertwine perfectly. The beauty doesn’t
stop at the figurative part of this sculpture; the bowl is wonderfully
conceived with great depth and symmetry. With a fine aged honey brown
patina; this superb ritual spoon forces you to feel the emotion between
these two carved figures. In excellent condition.
This spoon is 7.5 inches in height.
