My mom bought this for me in an antique shop, but neither one of us can figure out what it is. Any ideas? Thanks for your help.

I would say that it was some kind of Maian ceremonial carving tool,but it seems like Lindsay has a better answer for you!

Thanks for the link Lindsay-Jean, just found the answer to a 'mystery spoon' I picked up at an antique store in New Hampshire as a prop for my food pix!
