I will be out of the country from Oct 24 to Nov 1st …any items purchesed during that time will be shipped after I return… This large carved horn cow was carved to use to pour liquid medicine down a smaller animal such as a goat… This type of scoup/spoon would have been used by various herding farmers throughout the ranges across what is now northern China & Mongolia…. Carved from horn in the tradition of folk art, the handle end is carved into & animal head… this piece had probably been in use by generations of herders. Horn is roughly 11 inches long For additional ethnographic & indigenous cultural items see my other website at Trocadero.com/ethnic For additional information on myself, my experience & my interests….see Asianethnicartifacts.com aka Asian Ethnic Artifacts….
