Descripción : **Originally Listed At $300** Western Africa, Nigeria, Igbo peoples, ca. mid 20th century CE. A lovely hand-carved wooden spoon with a finely-detailed face on the handle, perhaps representative of an ancestor. Encompassed by an undulating border, the scoop is adorned with a chalky white pigment, hence the name chalk spoon, and black painted details. A thick, cylindrical handle conjoins both the scoop and anthropomorphic finial, and a parabolic metal suspension bar is secured on top. The intriguing visage displays full lips held slightly open in a gentle smile, a triangular nose, and bulging, almond-shaped eyes surrounded by thick lashes beneath arched brows. Capped by a thick head of hair, the figure displays a shaved hairline, which accentuates his tall forehead, and lengthy sideburns.
