مستخلص: | For hundreds of years the Northwest Coast cultures used their abundant natural resources to create useful objects. Spoons were made from the horns of both sheep and mountain goat. They were used to transfer ceremonial food from serving bowls and plates to smaller dishes, as well as used as eating utensils by feast participants. Shamans, or medicine men, owned some of the spoons. Some spoons show depictions of supernatural beings representing the spirits that the shaman attained on his quests. This Haida spoon dates from the late 1800s. |
