Small Fang Spoon

Acquired with several petite Cameroonian and Gabonese spoons from an estate sale this crisply carved example is very similar to three examples published in the Musee Dapper’s delightful “Cuillers Sculptures”. This particular spoon probably dates to the 2nd quarter of the 20th Century and was little used, accounting for it’s light, oil free patina. Nevertheless the spoon was carved by a trained and disciplined master craftsman. In terms of refinement of form and detail it is first class. 5″ tall with custom mount.
