Hen Gourd Ornament w/ Ceramic Accents from Peru

Description

There is a saying "Rare as a Hen's Teeth", meaning it's extremely precious. This gourd carving of a hen with ceramic accents is indeed precious; so if it lays an egg, don't eat it.

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

  • Measures approximately 3-1/4” high x 2-1/2” diameter

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