Owl Gourd Ornament w/ Ceramic Accents from Peru

Description

Please give a "Hoot" about this cute owl. He's looking for a friend and promises if you bring him home he will watch over your house at night and protect it from strangers. 

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 the artisans accented this gourd with ceramic pieces that represent the ears and feet, and fitted it with a wooden nose.

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 2-3/4” high x 2-1/2” diameter

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