This beautifully decorated wooden spoon is called 'tos karak', which means 'nine eyes', referring to the nine compartments in the scooper-part of the spoon.
In traditional shamanism, such as the lineage of Spirit of Wolf Shamans, tos karak are used as offering spoons during ritual. They are used to sprinkle milk or other sacred liquids around in the sacred area, such as the place of a kamlanie fire ritual, as an offering to the Great Spirits of Sky and Sun, the cardinal directions and the spirits of the place.
This tos karak is handmade from birch wood in Tuva and comes to us via our friends at Shaman Bazar.
Length of this spoon is approximately 22 centimeters.
Only one available at the moment. In the future, more will come.
