Two contemporary Yup'ik carved wooden spoons with black, hand-drawn decorations imitating petroglyphic-style ancient designs: one featuring a horned figure and the other an elongated, animal-like figure within an oval border. Each measures approximately 9.5 x 4 x 2 inches high when lying flat. The wood shows light scratches, handling marks, and variations in tone, with darker wear on the undersides of the handles.
