<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Taupou, post: 7767040, member: 45&quot;]I&#039;m not sure your spoon is a <i>kuksa. </i>Kuksa is a Finnish word, used for the &quot;spoon&quot; that is a traditional Saami cup.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since the Saami are the indigenous people of northern Scandinavia (sometimes called Lappland), and live therefore in four different countries, there could be a slight variety of styles of kuksa, but the ones I&#039;ve seen didn&#039;t have the chip carving decoration on them, and have a different end shape for the handle, which is also a little shorter in relation to the bowl, than this. </p><p><br /></p><p>The chip carving could be from many different cultures, since, as already pointed out, wooden spoons are made all over.&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen chip carving decorated spoons from eastern Europe to India.</p><p><br /></p><p>Saami spoons (especially the ones made from reindeer antlers) are one of the many things I collect, and I do have a few kuksa, but nothing just like this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
