This spoon belongs to Jong Hernaez, an Oxford resident and cookware business owner.

"It was made by my father-in-law, Ludovico Hernaez, in the 1990s. He made it by hand using a coconut shell and bamboo - materials found near his house. It is used as a ladle or serving spoon back home in Negros Philippines."
