Rustic Carved Wooden Ladle with Animal Head Detail

This rustic hand-carved wooden ladle features an intriguing design, with a shallow round bowl tapering into a long handle. The end of the handle is carved into a stylized animal head detail, displaying geometric cross-like markings on its crown.

The piece shows signs of age and manual craft, featuring a hand-cut square hole through the center of the bowl. The rich, dark brown wood exhibits natural variation in tone, with visible surface wear, small splits, and a highly textured surface that highlights its folk-art styling. Ideal for rustic shelf display or as an unusual prop in a country-style interior.
