Traditionally used for spreading manioc dough, this functional piece showcases intricate geometric patterns painted with natural vegetal dyes. The handle tapers to a natural, undyed straw finish—a hallmark of authentic Amazonian craftsmanship. The artistic merit of Mehinaku creations rivals that of celebrated world cultures, yet these works are frequently classified as anthropological artifacts rather than recognized as fine art. This spatula bridges utility and aesthetic expression, embodying the sophisticated design traditions of the Amazon basin. Dimensions: 5.5"W × 0.2"D × 27"H See less
