19th C. Vietnamese Opium Ladle, Coconut Shell

Item Details

Description

Southeast Asia, Vietnam, Hmong people, ca. 19th century CE. A fascinating and unique ceremonial opium ladle handmade from the shell of a coconut with a brass and bamboo handle. The hollowed coconut shell serves as the bowl with a deep basin and a lipped brass rim, while the handle extends dramatically outward. Bamboo curves in its knotted, natural form at the tip of the handle, fitting nicely into the brass stem that attaches to the bottom of the bowl. Note the lotus flower and twisted rope designs that adorn the brass indicating this object was meticulously constructed and intended for special use during a ceremony or ritual. Size: 2.3" L x 4.9" W x 5.3" H (5.8 cm x 12.4 cm x 13.5 cm)
