Navajo-made souvenir spoons once were all the rage sparked by the Victorian love of cutlery and endured through World War II with the nation's obsession with commemorative silver. These spoons are now ardently sought after by collectors and institutions alike as rare mementos of Navajo artistry. This book, the first to take an historical look at Navajo spoons, examines the Navajo smiths' incredible skill and invention that is evident in the functional teaspoons, servers, and sugar shells and explores spoons as a canvas of ethnic art.
