Featured NWC (?) Wood ladle (?)

Thanks, komo...we don't gots any lakes that freeze here, an' it's just as well, 'cause pointy sticks are considered terrorist weapons an' frowned upon when hurled for distance.

 

I'm with Komo; it is just odd, doesn't fit into any known category, doesn't have any features that fit into known NW Coast native style...and being unsigned, I'd be inclined also to think it is someone's idea of a NW Coast native item.
But if it really was native, I'd expect a signature.

 

Thanks @Potteryplease , @komokwa @all_fakes are the experts, I know very little

 

Yes, thanks for the ideas and clarifications.

Yes I tend to agree with you guys-- it's a weird one. Especially the 'fingers' such as they are.

Based on your posts you know a lot more than very little!
