Description
The carving of lovespoons is one of the best known of Welsh traditions, beginning around 1667, and which has lasted through to the present day. At a time when personal decoration was rare, these spoons provided a conduit for the imagination and creativity. This example has three bowls and is carved from beech. The large panel handle is carved with geometric patterns and animal heads.
