This object is a traditional hand-carved wooden spoon, known as a fandhaal or qaado, originating from Somalia or the border region with Kenya associated with the Somali and Boni peoples. Somali men typically carve these spoons (sometimes known as fandal or qaado) out of a plant called xagar, and they are known for their intricate geometric patterns. As well as being beautiful everyday objects, they are also sustainably sourced.
