Vintage Kenyan Wood Turtle Salad Fork - Hand-Carved Ebony and Woven Raffia - 10 Inches

This 10-inch salad fork was carved by hand in Kenya, likely by an artisan from the Akamba region. It features a four-pronged head and a turtle carving at the top of the handle, representing longevity and patience in many African traditions. A small section of the neck is wrapped in a black-and-white woven fiber, providing a nice contrast to the dark, polished wood. It’s a sturdy, functional piece that works well as a replacement for a lost serving set or simply as a decorative object for a kitchen or dining space.
