    Today I crossed paths with this interesting item. I can’t decide if it’s a big spoon, a ladle, or maybe a canoe cup. Google Lens has been no help. I also can’t decide if it’s Native American in origin, or European (Norwegian, possibly?). Would love to hear what you think!

    I'd call it a hangs-around-looks-cute. I'm not sure it ever had an official purpose.
