content: Wooden ladle. Handle has bell-shaped end, with 4 drilled holes. Dark narrow lines burned (or stained?) on handle, with V-shaped lines near the bowl. Bowl is leaf shaped. 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".
