Turkana Peoples

Kenya

East Africa

circa 1960

Collected by naturalist and philanthropist Eli Weiss in the 1980’s.

15.25" long x 3.5" wide x 2.25” deep

A nice Turkana Ceremonial Spoon traditionally used as a winnowing spoon, which is the process of fanning air in-between pieces of grain so that wind can blow away the husks. The repetitive nature of this process has created smooth surfaces and beautiful patina.

Deep Bowl with Geometric Handle and a carved hole for hanging.
