April and May 2013

The tribal version.  If a war spoon is to be wielded by the head of a family as appropriate for the nurture and protection of that family then a more substantial version would be needed by the head of a tribe.  Indeed, were there to be a national war spoon it would be the size of a great tree and could only be wielded by the great Spirit.

This tribal war spoon is about twenty inches long and is made of orange osage, a fabulous wood, very heavy and strong, yellow with distinct grains.
