Two Spoons From Timor, Lesser Sunda Islands, Indonesia
This collection of two spoons comes from the island of Timor, in the Lesser Sunda Islands archipelago, Indonesia, and can be dated to the late 19th century.

These spoons illustrate both traditional Timorese eating practices and the functional aesthetic characteristic of the region's cultures.
The set is in good condition, a discreet satin on one of the ladles,
