The Dinka people are a Nilotic ethnic group living in South Sudan. They mostly live along river Nile, from Mangala to Renk, in regions of Bahr el Ghazal, Upper Nile and Abyei Area of the Ngok Dinka in South Sudan. This is a beautiful figural Mwiko decorated with a carved figure on the handle. Dinka artists often carve their artifacts with great care which reflects the importance of these objects to the owner. Spoons/Spatulas were personal items used by their owners as a beater for maize or cassava bread or as a pottery beater since groups in this area produce some of the finest figural pottery in the region. This is a wonderful figural mwiko/spatula with a bird figure at the top and a brown patina and metal studs.
