<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Brassey, post: 9600119, member: 15277&quot;][QUOTE=&quot;I am not sure about the ladle. As Taupou says, pombe means beer in Swahili, which might place it in east Africa. The Maasai do decorative work on gourds, but the style of the ladle looks different - more eastern European than African. Is the white stitching on the gourd leather, or cordage?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p><p>I checked the &quot;stitching&quot; with a metal detector and it is definitely metal inlay. I can find nothing like it at all online at the moment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
