Haida Spoon refers not to an individual artist but to a category of Indigenous Northwest Coast art object, intricately carved ceremonial and feast spoons produced by Haida artists of the Pacific Northwest, particularly from Haida Gwaii, British Columbia. These spoons, traditionally crafted from mountain goat horn and wood, feature elaborate totemic and clan crest imagery and have appeared at major auction houses including Sotheby's, Bonhams, and Rago Arts. They are regarded as significant ethnographic and fine art objects, with examples dating from the 18th to early 20th centuries commanding substantial prices in the Indigenous art market.
