Bird Singing Gourd Ornament from Peru

Description

Birds use songs for a variety of purposes, depending on the season and each bird's needs. The most common reasons for birds to sing include Claiming and Defending Territory, Attracting a Mate, Courtship Duets, and General Communication. This bird is singing because he hears his bird friend below playing the guitar.

Gourd Carving is a traditional craft of the high Andean Mountains of Peru. Each gourd is skinned, cleaned, and sun-dried before artisans etch and burn the intricate designs that adorn its surface. In addition, this gourd/bird has been fitted with a wooden tail.

Gourds are also a natural and uniquely shaped vegetable, similar to a pumpkin or a squash. As such, designs, shapes, and dimensions will vary slightly.

  • Measures approximately 2-1/2” high x 2-1/4” diameter

Handmade, carved, and etched by artisans in Peru and fair trade imported.
