I first acquired this Woodland's effigy scoop over 20 years ago. One may overlook the original utility and see it only as sculpture. It's Woodlands, at its core, with its economy of line and reductive capturing of the bird's essence. The thin walls of the scoop are like stretched skin over tendons. Its large size is atypical in its scale and form. The complex surface is a combination of patination from accretion and years of use dating back 200 years.
