Handcarved Old Wooden Spoon with Heart Shaped Cutout Handle long fellow's voices of the night The Ibis in Egyptian culture

The Ibis in Egyptian culture was traditionally associated with Thoth the god of wisdom and writing

I know nothing of its origins

with the glazing thick and drippy in areas

but is a thing of beauty that commands plenty of attention just on its own

Handcarved Old Wooden Spoon with Heart Shaped Cutout Handle long fellow's voices of the night The Ibis in Egyptian cultureIn researching this lovely little spoon, I found only one very similar one, which sold on Ebay for $99! I am not asking that, but I do think it is quite a special thing! That one was described as an anniversary spoon, and I would guess was once a prized possession and it would certainly make a wonderful anniversary gift now! I would probably hang it on the wall, though it could certainly be used, perhaps for serving decadent chocolate covered treats!
