content: Carved wooden spoon with roughly burned design in the bowl. The spoon was likely made in Iraq and is of a light colored wood, though there is significant darkening from wear on the handle. The bowl is decorated with four ordinal semi-circles, each with horizontal zig-zag lines inside. The center of the design is three joined circled in a straight line, each with a dot in the middle. The handle appears to have been decorated with a similar burning technique but the color has faded and only a slight mark remains. The spoon is chipped in several places and the bowl has cracked with signs of repair.
