Description
Otter Effigy Ladle
Eastern Great Lakes Woodlands, circa 1780
The sideways orientation of this ladle is atypical. The otter is subtly rendered with an ever so slender tail coming over the top of the handle and a sleek body joined with its front legs which are joined to the back of the handle-the openwork around the body creating an area to attach a thong.
Hewn from a choice specimen of tiger maple and blackened with heavily carbonized smoke.
l. 5 11/16 in.

Estimate: $4,000-6,000
