- Lot Description
**Originally Listed At $650**
Southeast Asia, Philippines, Luzon island, Ifugao culture, ca. 19th century CE. A fine hand-carved wooden spoon known as a pakko; its handle depicting a standing nude female holding her hands to her stomach with pointed breasts above. Upon the head is a loop, and at the opposite end is the large spoon's bowl. A nice dark brown, nearly black, patina covers the surface which may have been enhanced by rubbing animal fat into the wood to make it shiny. These ornate spoons were a popular everyday utensils for eating, and the figural handles traditionally represent a deity or ancestor figure. Size: 8" L x 2" W x 8" H (20.3 cm x 5.1 cm x 20.3 cm)
Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection; ex-Ami Brown collection, New York City, New York, USA, 1950 to 1970
