Symbol identification

Does anyone know what this symbol is called? it appears to be a ladle shape. It’s on the side of a cuff.

Lots of these symbols can be left to interpretation, I think of this as a water symbol.

this one always reminds me of a Longhair Kachina for some reason.

Still spending quite a bit of time at home with being off work, so was looking through old posts. This symbol reminds me of an ice cream cone :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: universal symbol for happiness

Yep, just wondering what flavor - blue bubble gum or plain vanilla

Looks like a modified Water Serpent “Avanyu pattern” to me. Work looks Navajo, so the maker may not be aware of the symbolism and is just working with a pleasant motif.
