Salish Northwest Coast horn spoons are traditional carved utensils made primarily by Coast Salish peoples (and more broadly across Northwest Coast Indigenous cultures) from the horns of mountain goats or Dall sheep. These objects blend practical function with exquisite artistry, often serving as both everyday eating/serving tools and ceremonial items at feasts or potlatches.
