A vessel that gave before it was carved.

She only knows how to hold.

It came to me untitled, I call it 'Hollow'. 

Likely West or Central African in origin, made for feeding or serving rather than display. Whatever it once held, it's empty now, and waiting.

Carved African wooden spoon/ladle, hand-shaped from a single piece of wood with a deep, rounded bowl and simple carved handle.

Genuine age and handling wear consistent with domestic or ceremonial use.

Dimensions: 31cm tall x 18cm in diameter x 8cm bowl depth.
