Featured coconut water scoop, but from where?

Water ladle from coconut with nicely carved wooden handle in naga/dragon shape and miniature wooden (animanl) bell at the tail tip. Comon throughout Asia, but where might this one originate from? Probably new, no signs of use anyway. Length about 30 cm.
Help needed, can't find similar examples!

 

either way, that's some nice carving !

 

It is beautiful, John. Probably Cambodia or Laos. That spike on the Naga's nose is seen a lot in that region.

 

Thanks again Any Jewelry

 

googling on cambodian coconut water ladle i now found this pic from ebay.ca which states as its country/region of manufacture Thailand. So i guess it is thai.

 

I'm not saying one way or the other but I'd trust AJ, over eBay...any day !!

 

Nice, John. Yours is much more beautiful and older, but the same idea, even with the clapper at the end.
I should have included Thailand in the list, Thailand was part of the Cambodian Khmer empire for a long time, and Thai culture is still greatly influenced by Cambodian culture.
The Thai ethnic group itself originated in China and migrated southward, incorporating local cultures into their own.
So I would say, yours is made somewhere in the general Cambodian/Khmer influenced cultural area of Laos, Cambodia, Thailand.

 

Now that's , covering one's ass.....!!!

 

Well, the Khmer covered that entire region.

 

And so did you.............heehehe!!!!

 

Call me Khmer.

 

I do , but this seller is selling them brand new, so must know where he/she got them

 

Anyway, I'm happy. laos/cambodia/thai/kmer area specific enough for me.
Mystery solved!

 

It's eBay.....folks say whatever the hell they want to.....
It's been a long time since I took any eBayer at their word when it comes to art work....

 

Yes, yes, I know (and agree ) Komokwa.
