OLD HAND CARVED AUTHENTIC WOODEN SCOOP TOOL, USED TO MIX AND WORK WITH SAGO. VERY NICE PATINA. ITEM: SCOOP1, AROUND 9" LONG. COLLECTED IN THE LATE 1900'S BUT MUCH OLDER.

Collected from a local tribesman in a remote area of the Sepik River (Papua New Guinea)

Sago is an edible starch extracted from the pith of an array of tropical palm trees. It's a major staple food in parts of the tropics, among them  the lowland peoples of Papua New Guinea and the Moluccas, where it is called saksak, rabia and sagu. 

Sago, the starchy substance, extracted from the sago palm among other palm trees, is one of the most common, traditional food items in Papua New Guinea. Sago is usually used to make bread and puddings and is, still today, a common ingredient across many popular dishes in Papua New Guinean, including Saksak (sago dumplings), Rebi (sago with creamed fish/chicken), pancakes topped with coconut milk, etc. In fact, fried sago in the morning, usually with meat, continues to be a staple diet for those who do traditional work, since this digests slowly and keeps one satiated through the day.
