Kenyan Olivewood + Bone Spiral Handled Coffee Spoon

Kamba artisans in Kenya hand carve this appealing sugar spoon from wild olive wood, a slow-growing tree with beautifully grained wood. The handle is adorned with bleached cow bone, hand carved to resemble the antlers of savanna antelopes like the topi, gazelle and waterbuck.
