Description
**Originally Listed At $300**
West Africa, Ivory Coast, Senufo people, ca. 20th century CE. A beautiful ladle, hand-carved from wood, featuring a deep bowl, a spiral-shaped handle, and a finial in the form of a Setien or harvest bird - a hornbill crane. Hornbills are considered by the Senufo "the master of the birds", and they are known for mating for life and raising their young together. The spread-winged stance of this bird is meant to evoke a protective gesture. Size: 6" W x 25.25" H (15.2 cm x 64.1 cm)
Provenance: private Matrisciano collection, Thousand Oaks, California, USA, acquired before 1960
All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
