Navajo souvenir spoon

[dragonflywink]

Throwing this piece from my collection in just because this forum seldom sees anything but jewelry (not that there's anything wrong with that). This is a large heavy Navajo-made teaspoon with an owl handle and a Yei spirit in the bowl, believe it dates to right around 1920. The entire decoration is done with small iron stamps, even the straight lines and fine feathery details.
