19th C Antique Rare BEAR EFFIGY Wooden SCOOP ladle Woodlands Native American
This is one of three Native American wooden Indian Ladles or scoops that we are listing out of a prominent collectors estate in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Providence provided at sale end. This one looks to have a pronounced bear head carved to the end of the handle. I could be wrong, and it may be another animal. It definitely has bear features. It measures 10 1/2 inches long by 6 inches wide. It is Antique from the 19th century. It looks to be in good condition. There is some shrinkage cracking to the bowl edge as pictured. I have pictures from all directions so nothing is hidden.
