Mountain Goat Horn Spoon

- Accession Code
- HV973.73.177
- Description
- Horn spoon with fine carving on the narrow handle. Material is very dark.
- Object History
- Along the Northwest Coast, in general, undecorated spoons of wood and horn were used in everyday life, while more elaborately carved versions were used on special occasions. Horn spoons were often passed down in families as heirlooms, such spoons are generally darker in colour than those of recent manufacture. The bowls of these spoons are too large to place in the mouth, so food is sipped from the sides or the end.
- The bowl of the mountain goat horn spoon is made from the larger part of the horn, at the base. The handle is made from the tip. It is straightened out by steaming in a wooden mould and then scored out inside as part of the shaping process
