it is as it was made

Like this frog

with just one hole in at at the arrow end

There is some dryness/wear to the wood on the bowl of the spoon and along its edges

Very Old Hand-Carved Arm with Stigmata lenticular lenses it is as it wasI have to think this was once attached to a very old carved Christ figure, due to the stigmata piercing the palm of the hand. It feels pretty ancient, and beautiful I think for quite the patina it has acquired, including a little loss to a couple of the fingers. Quite an evocative thing. 10 inches long x 2 3 8" wide x 1 1 4" d. Much aged over at least a couple hundred years I'd think, all to the good, and not fragile.
