Antique Carved Wood Ladle with Long Handle Beautiful Light Brown Finish

Description: A beautiful and rather uncommon antique wooden wood ladle. The ladle, which appears to be carved from a single piece of wood, has a long handle emanating from a large and shallow bowl. The handle, which appears to be integral to the bowl is cylindrical in shape, long, and has carved decorative lines near the end. The bowl itself is rather large (~7 1/4" in diameter and is ~2 1/4" high) and circular in shape. The entire piece appears to have a light brown colored finish and is great looking. The piece has a white piece of rope, which was added later, attached to the end of the handle. A very unusual piece worthy of a spot in your collection.
