content: Large spoon with a ridge down the back. Handle is an elongated diamond shape, and the bowl is leaf shaped. Small comma-shaped burn marks all over the handle. The donor says that she collected this when she visited the Tuareg resettlement / displaced persons' camp near Ayourou, on the border between Niger and Mali, where "people were selling off everything in desperation".
