Wooden spoon from Cappadocia. The concave part and the handle feature painted floral decorations in red, green and white. The convex part also features a vegetal design in green. On the edge of the handle there is a label with the inscription: “Mücella ile Okyay, Teşekkür Eder, 2 - 9 - 1984”. These wooden spoons, the “tahtadionas”, were, and still are, used as percussion instruments in Antikristoi dances from Cappadocia. They were made in Konya and Sille.
